Software dev for way longer than I care to admit.
Commonplace Bookhttps://www.amykhar.dev/

My current employer laid off 25% of the remaining tech team - nearly all of them were on the backend team. The company expects the remaining front end devs to become "full stack".

I'm lucky to still have a job, but I'm sad and angry and missing having a team to collaborate with. How do I keep ending up being the last PHP dev standing all the time? It SUCKS

@cariad I think we also *need* to see that

As expected after last night's "debate", all the commentary is just trash talking the opposition. Nobody is saying anything good about their own guy. I wish the dems would start talking about what they have to offer and not just harp on how awful the orange man is.

There's a reason people voted for him. Maybe it's time to see what people really need from the government and start offering it.

I am going to shut up about politics now.

What do you use to create presentation slides in Markdown?

I'm bored of PPT, GDocs, LibreOffice.

I want to know what you *personally* use to write slides. Why do you like it? Do you recommend it? Any pitfalls?

@tommorris @Edent I just went down the MARP rabbit hole. I'd never heard of it before, but it looks really cool.
I have undertaken an experiment at work. I have hired a logical, problem solving, retirement aged "intern" and am teaching her to program in PHP. I am not using tutorials to teach her, but having her work on real tickets. There's way more to learn now than when I started. In addition to PHP, she's having to learn Docker, git, Jira, and Slack. My company not only let me make this unorthodox hire, but seems to think it's cool that I've done so.
@jedda Thank you :) You made me smile this afternoon.
@grmpyprogrammer @GeePawHill While it might not help with the justice side of things, I do think it might be a catharsis for the family. That's enough point for me.
I'm still chuckling inside about the idea of fixing a typo in lorem ipsum...
I have to laugh because I posted this: https://www.amykhar.dev/is-the-devil-in-the-details/ and immediately after, saw this: http://tom7.org/bovex/badness-0-knuth.pdf by following a link from @andybaio
