Personal achievement unlocked. I'm down 30lbs of fat. Feeling pretty good tbh. I think a good weight for me to land at is 190lbs. It was also a lot easier snowboarding last week 30lbs lighter lol. HIIT and swimming have been great but, sleep and diet has been key.

I whipped up a browser extension to promote creating more accessible Tweets. It does one thing for now, but it's a good easy win. When you Tweet, if you have not added descriptions to images, it will prompt you before you Tweet. Take it for a spin #a11y

@EmilyKager @SlackHQ There's a third one. People who type forever and you watch the three dots bounce up and down thinking they're writing the next big novel, and then the message is either an emoji or a short one-liner. 📝

Your friendly reminder, that on the main page of a repository on GitHub, press the letter "t" to get a file explorer to open. From there, you can refine the search by typing in a part of a filename and then be able to navigate to that file if you click on it. #git #Productivity

I still love this addition @vaidehijoshi added to @forem 's PR template. For the tests section,you need to add a reason why you didn't add tests. It's a small change, but it's a great one for when folks might think about skipping tests.Also,the I need help with tests is great too.

Lift weights. You don’t need to become Schwarzenegger or CBUM, but lift in some capacity as your bone density starts to deteriorate year by year. I’ve been lifting for 32 years, and it’s been one of the best things I’ve done for my body. Also, sleep. I’m still working on that. 😅
