Want to feel old? ReactJS was released May 29, 2013, or 2468 days ago.

Sigh, second coast to coast flight (5-7 hours) without WiFi in just 4 days. That will teach me to procrastinate tasks requiring connectivity to the last moment because “I have a long flight anyway” 🙄

*Honest job interview*

Interviewer: “What’s your biggest weakness?”

Me: “Sometimes I fuck up my rebase so badly I delete the repo and clone a new copy 🔥🙆‍♀️”

Just asked for W3C to eliminate the role of the Director (a pseudo-dictatorship), and to redistribute power & authority from the W3C Team to the members & community.

When did I become a web standards anarchist?

We put so much pressure on ourselves as millennials.
