      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      if you’re feeling “deep blue” due to being replaced and have some spare time, i suggest picking up offline stuff. i got back into learning piano, started going to the gym for the first time in my life, and plan to learn a language. it’s a good time for embodied learning

      Plus, it gives your CSS a tasty sear.

      CodePen

      codepen.io
      CodePen now has a Lightning CSS Block. It's a "syntax lowerer" (like Babel is for JS, but for CSS). It respects your browserslist!  It's a bundler! It's a minifier!
