As a senior engineer, you should learn how to be less reactionary and more strategic. Reactionary behavior creates tactical solutions. Tactical solutions create more problems. Learning to think big and fix foundational issues sometimes makes hard problems disappear.

I've been pretty quiet here cause atm I have the emotional fortitude of a waitrose basque cheesecake (which I'm incidentally obsessed with and could eat a whole one every day). At least my wordle thread is a daily update that I'm still around and doing nerdy shit on the daily 😂

Today's my birthday and I'd love to hear about things that have made you happy recently. No cynicism, no twitter-doom, just happy or kind things. I'll start: My spouse named our coffee machine the Breville Jonk Jonk after the sound it makes when steaming milk.

Though it's a day to celebrate for me, I'd also like to pay tribute to my incredible great nan, who I dedicated my Thesis to. She sadly passed away last Thursday, but I know how proud she was of me, and how lucky I was to have such a wonderful person in my life for so long 💖

Some of you have never made a <button> that submits form data to a server while the user is navigated to a new page defined by the form `action` attribute - all with no JS involved - and it shows.

software engineering means oscillating between "I'm a fucking genius" and "fuck I'm so fucking stupid", often multiple times within a day

Dear employer, Help! I just did some mindfulness meditation as per your recent email, but my workload is now even worse – none of the work went away and I have even less time to do it in. What did I do wrong? Best regards, Kirsty
