Working in iterations

I’m redesigning this site bit by bit, which you can read about. This is just a temporary UI. Sorry for any jank!

    A four cell image of a dude holding a dog like a baby with a sad looking cat in the background. The shot zooms in on the cat as the cells progress. The first labels the person as developers and the dog as developer experience. In the third cell, the cat is labelled as users trying to load the website you built.

  • The kombucha meme where a woman initially looks like she hates it, but then looks curious, but I've flipped the order, so she looks like she hates it, after looking curious. The first cell (curious) is captioned "I've written a new article" The second cell (hates it) is captioned "Read it on my Substack"

  • I wanna record my entire vinyl collection. I've tried a couple of times but manual editing of audio takes all of the joy out of it. Some of the tools out there's UIs make me sad too.

    Anyone out there managed to do this and enjoy it?

  • I'm gutted that I can't do ffconf this year, but we attended as a team last year and it hugely benefitted us, especially as we're all remote https://ffconf.org/why-attend/
