      I never thought I'd say this, but I'm enjoying doing taxes today because I'm going through my vendor lists for 1099s and getting little reminders of all the great people I worked with and cool projects we made together in 2024 💜

      One of my favorite people I follow is Madison Kanna. So excited to hear what she has to share with us about differentiating ourselves from AI and building our network and communities at #EpicWebConf! Had a great chat with her that's coming out soon! www.epicweb.dev/conf
      Kent C. Dodds, wearing a black shirt, smiles warmly during a video call on Riverside. He is on the left side of the screen with a bright background featuring a neon logo. On the right side, a guest with long blonde hair, wearing a blue zip-up hoodie with a logo, smiles while speaking. Behind her is a bookshelf and a softly lit room.

      Our job application form has exactly one free text field that we ask you to fill out, saying why you want to work here. > 50% of applicants are leaving it entirely blank. I do not understand.
