Went to wallmart and got a deal on Blueberry pop tarts.
Did they come with sprinkles on the frosting? Asking for a friend.
They had the frosting I think it had confetti colours but I would not describe as sprinkles
Bummer, the plain old Blueberry is my favorite
No frosting?!?
I know I might seem like a heathen to some. I just remembered, as a kid, having toasted, I frosted blueberry pop tarts and a glass of chocolate milk.
Pro Tip:
Freezer.
30 minutes.
Eat.
Profit.
IT'S A THREE OFFER FRIDAY! I feel incredibly lucky to be entertaining multiple job offers.
One company made it an extremely easy decision!
I'm starting in early February at an awesome new job. Will make it official soon!
In the meanwhile, I'm taking a React deep dive after being out of the pool for awhile. Time to drink the kool-aid....
Congrats on the new job! π
Noice!
Congratulations, that's incredible!
Wooooh! Congratulations π
I had two wins:

Congrats on the public speaking. Itβs so hard the first time, glad to hear it went well enough to tempt you to go again!
Thanks. I've been having thoughts about trying public speaking for some time now. And the only way to find out if this is something for me or not is by seizing the opportunity. A colleague helped me with the preparation. So far so good. Looking forward to the next one :)
Since the new year I've been focusing on doing stuff to have more energy and vitality throughout the day. The basics: eat well, sleep well and exercise daily. This week so far I've worked out every morning, 5/5 days π. That's my big win this week ππ
Keep at it, there is no limit to how much these kinds of changes can improve your life.
One book I would recommend checking out if you haven't seen it yet is The Compound Effect. It really drives home the point that small improvements over time can grow into huge gains if you just stick with them.
Nice! Do be wary of working out daily, though. You may not feel it your first week, but it will exhaust you more than it will help you (and won't give your muscles the rest they need to grow).
Started new project, helped to track down a tricky issue, and created an account here! HAPPY Friday Dev.to.ers

@jess I had not written a blog post in ages and I finally got to write one today that I had in my head for some time and it seems pretty well received so far.

The Cost of Investing Too Heavily in a JavaScript Framework

What a great article, I've read it, and shared it with my friends, without a doubt it's a big win.
Thank you!
Yeah you did! It was a good article.
You definitely hit on something... The 2020s could be the era of the postmodern JavaScript framework.
Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens in the JavaScript and the web over the next few years.
I had an amazing farewell party party organised by my colleagues, lots of kind words, tears and presents that show they really know me π I'm going to miss them in my new job!
Followed the next day by giving my first talk of the year, and getting some awesome feedback both in person by people after the talk and on LinkedIn the following day.
Ready to prep for the new job now!
good luck
It's a sad and happy day. I'm leaving my awesome co-workers from Shotgun but new beginnings Monday. All that to say, my big win this week is all the kind words my co-workers sent to me on my last day. I just want to leave some here because they meant a lot to me.
I also think it's great to acknowledge positives for the times when you doubt yourself.
"From the first day you joined our team you were asking questions, challenging assumptions and generally making a nuisance of yourself. Less than 2 weeks later you were improving everyoneβs workflows and going above and beyond as a customer advocate. And you just didnβt stop. Thanks for all youβve done, and for setting such a high bar for others to follow."
"Iβd like to second xxxβs sentiments, Nickβ¦
I think in the months to come, more and more folks will realize what a driving force and passion was lost with you leavingβ¦
Iβll be in your Twitter DMβs soon enough!"
"Dude! Nick, will miss you man. Thanks for all the love and effort you put into making Shotgun better. I especially appreciate you banging on the conditional permissions UI for us, above and beyond the call of duty for sure. π Best of luck in your next gig!"
"Nick Taylor!!! You will be missed for sure. Not only will Shotgun miss your incredible ninja skillz but youβre just awesome to work with. Weβll be rooting for you (and secretly hoping you come back sooner than later) π"
"Nick! Remember that awesome pic you sent me over Slack? Itβs going into my blackmail time capsule for a rainy day. Just kidding π. Iβm confident that your new outfit will quickly realize that theyβve hit the jackpot with you. Itβs been a real pleasure learning from you."
Shotgun fam, you are awesome, thanks for the kind words and I will miss you all.
I got through an emotionally rough day this week. I feel considerably better than I did early.
And, today is my last day as a contractor. My employer offered me a full-time position which goes into effect on Tuesday.
Ayyy, congrats on going full-time!
Optimized one our API endpoints and reduced the average response time from 8-10 seconds to 2-3 seconds.
It was quite nice to see the Grafana metrics when the change went live.
