I mentioned it in the newsletter, so I’ll share here too: in January I’m moving back to San Francisco! I’ve been prioritizing in-person interactions, and I’m excited to reconnect with the community up there. To my San Diego pals, this isn’t goodbye! I’ll come back to visit. šŸ’™

It was a joy to see @gregcons deliver this talk live! It’s full of practical suggestions for healthy coding and living at any age. Highly recommend.

After seeing @ericwastl's great talk at @CppNorth, I was inspired to try Advent of Code for the first time. Puzzles can be fun when you're not in a job interview! I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 https://t.co/JPbmj9eiq5 #AdventOfCode

Every year my park docent friend leads a hike as an alternative to Black Friday shopping. It was lovely as always. šŸ

šŸ”— Linkedin I share events and tips on applying compassion in the corporate software world. I didn't use LinkedIn much when I was super active on Twitter, so I'm gradually reconnecting with people there. If we ever had ties in any direction here, feel free to connect there!

I was still working when I saw the clouds starting to show some color. This was definitely worth a break!
