What are songs where you knew the lyrics wrong for years? Drift Away: Uncle Kracker Oh, give me the beach boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away Paperback Writer: The Beatles So I wanna be a take the back right turn Take the back right turn

Man, I just had the greatest time! My middle child had his first programming assignment in high school and I sat down with him as he showed me his first version. He wrote Wordle in Python. Time flew! It was a blast. So good.

Started a push-up challenge with my boys this year. We are shooting to do 100 in one set eventually. Here was my workout last night... 125 reps across 5 sets in 8 minutes. I have a long way to go, but I'm pleased with the progress.

5 sets of push-ups (22, 28, 22, 20, 33) in 8 minutes and 1 second. A total of 125 push-ups

Just hit the “publish” button on a brand-new blog post! ⭐ This one shares the killer pattern I find myself using over and over with container queries: responding *within* media queries to adapt to the new container size. Once you start using this trick, you’ll see opportunities for it all over. 😄

Had my yearly doctor check-up. I consider it a "win" because I didn't faint during the blood draw! However, the nurse seemed annoyed when I warned her that I faint easily. Oh well, at least they knew

👋 Back to work today after a nice long break. It was a great time of being with family, doing home projects, and relaxing. Thankful I like my job, but I'm grateful for the breather. I also feel blessed to take such an extended break. I know not everyone has that flexibility. How was your break?

big time quality-of-life setting for your global git config `git config --global diff.wsErrorHighlight all` this will ensure that anytime you run a `git diff`, any extraneous whitespace that is being added or removed will be highlighted, otherwise you can't see what about the line changed

an example git diff where first a couple are changed and a single character of space at the end of one of the lines is highlighted to indicate that the old version of that line had a trailing space character. There is another diff where the line being added has 4 spaces of extraneous indentation being added, these are highlighted in red as well.

On a work call at the library talking about general manager stuff and when I got off the call, the guy next to me asks what he can do to get promoted at his job from a SWE2 to a Sr. SWE1. We had a pretty good conversation :) Hopefully it was helpful to him.
