As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at…

Then we took it apart so it can be moved and reassembled at its final location πŸ˜…
Building this was so cool!

I've definitely felt this vibe recently and IMO, companies that keep putting effort into hiring diverse talent are gonna be more successful in the long term than companies that hire very homogeneous people. I know from personal experience that diverse teams are so much better.

Before hacking a car in JS, I tested my project on a cheap doorbell bought online but I thought nobody probably has it so it wouldn't be relatable. I just stepped into an office building and guess what's the first thing I saw... πŸ˜… Not gonna do anything but fun to know I could 😈

I was thinking about that recently. I want to build products/tools that make people feel that you've put a lot of care into creating a great UI & UX.
I understand having to ship fast but I don't think enough people understand the benefit of really crafting something beautiful.

Yesterday I started an awesome workshop to learn how to frame a tiny house. It's taught by really cool women and over 4 weekends we're gonna build a real house that someone commissioned!

I hate how as soon as I figure something out on a side project, I automatically think 'maybe it's not that interesting', even though it took my weeks or months to get there and I know that at first I didn't even know if I could get there.
