A web developer and design system leader on hiatus and rediscovery.
I love all things animated, food, gadgets, games, and photography.

While I enjoy working with AI coding tools, it's very frustrating when they're confidently wrong. Telling me an API can't do something when I did fucking DevRel for that API and I know it can.
This is a key reason why I don't think AI coding tools are well suited for early-career developers—you need too much existing knowledge to know when to push back on them.
Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
I am going through things for my move from New England to South Dakota this spring. It is interesting what one unearths while dividing things into keep and toss piles. Here is the original art for a couple 24 hour comics from waaaay back in the day. I had thought I lost them before moving from Denver to New England.
I have fond memories of these 24-hour comic events. These are being added to the keep pile.
Alright Mastodon, I'm looking for work.
Senior software developer, specializing in low-level, embedded, and systems programming. Previous work includes video compression (developer on AV1 and AV2), silicon verification, and scientific/numerical software. Full CV/resume available on request.
Primarily looking for remote work, but would consider in-person in the UK if the circumstances are right.
Available for either contract work through the company I run (easiest route if you're outside the UK), or direct employment.
Tagging #FediHire for visibility.
As someone that grew up on a farm in South Dakota, this pronounces uncomfortably close to what we called cow excrement.
(Spoiler: we called it "cow pie".)
The wind today exacerbated the already cold temperatures here in South Dakota. The nearby herd of cows in the newly harvested corn field bundled together in order to keep warmer. They obviously have taken notice of me and are contemplating next moves. Potentially revenge.
I have been back in South Dakota for the last few weeks taking care of family things. This is the longest I have stayed here in the last 30 years and the perspective is different being an 18 year old wanting to escape it.
Now I am 48 and planning a move back this spring. My partner and I will even be buying a house. It is still not a place I ever expected to revisit, but there is a visual beauty to it. Things I never appreciated before. It is still hard to justify the ugly politics.
Are you looking for a seasoned front end (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) or Drupal developer for fully remote full time or contract work? I'm your person!
I bring almost 20 years of experience working with a wide variety of companies, collaborating with designers, marketers, and content authors, and building design systems, ensuring what I build is as accessible as possible.
If this sounds good, send me a DM!
