I have made it to Carnegie. Here's Andouille very happy that the trip is over.

Moving cross country in a truck with a cat in the back seat sure is stressful, but my baby is doing a good job so far.

2 days until my move to Pittsburgh. This is by far the most emotionally destroying move I've ever been through. It really sucks to be dealing with the stresses of moving a house all by yourself while also going through physically unhealthy levels of anxiety and depression.

I am excited about moving to Pittsburgh, but distraught about leaving my life and friends behind in Dallas.

Y'all -- ahem, yinz -- are in Pittsburgh like two weeks before I'm actually moving there. Enjoy the pierogies and french fries in sandwiches. Oh, and I recommend visiting the Phipps Conservatory #pycon
So I thought I was going to be visiting Pittsburgh this year, but actually I'm moving there. In June! Life is wild.
Whenever it goes below freezing (as the high temperature) in Dallas, the roads are dead. Even though it's totally dry out and there's no ice on the roads. Everyone just stays inside waiting for their water pipes to burst.

Some of you know my friend Jah. He has been in the hospital for 5 days now, very slowly getting better from some unknown illness, but he's still spiking fevers once or twice a day. Still, progress is being made so things are looking up. I have been helping Beth take care of him. I'm exhausted and I still get to sleep in my bed, but she's been sleeping on a hospital couch for the past four nights.

And also, I tried this the other day in some Rust code where I happened to have a little inner utility function, and the same layout worked.

#rust #rustlang

I know a lot of people will find this crazy, but I have been writing a lot of my React code like this:

function MyComp(props: ...) {
return <button onClick={go}>Go!</button>;

function go() {
console.log("Done!");
}
}

I hate having to scroll past dozens of lines of inner functions to get to the main "rendering" logic of a component. I feel like this is a logical extension of the top-down layout, where main() is the first function in your source code.
