Unpopular opinion: macOS Tahoe’s UI with a gradient + dark theme is chill. Finally trying desktop widgets, and so far they’re proving useful. Am I alone?

Tailwind 2017: boo 🎃 Tailwind v1 2019: hello 🌍 Me: SCSS 😎 Tailwind v4 + no-config JIT = 🔥 Theming, grid, responsive, AI-friendly? Okay, I’m in. Also btw, CSS vars use () not [] 🤦🏻‍♂️

Slowly dialing in the office setup with some new lighting, fresh paint, and camera gear. Learning from talented creators on YouTube about cameras, lighting, writing, editing, and strategy. Getting there.

Eric stands behind a wooden desk in a modern home office, arms resting on the surface. He’s wearing a gray t-shirt and looking toward the camera. The room is softly lit with blue and green accent lights, multiple monitors, plants, and tech gear visible in the background.

My dad installed halo ceiling lights in my office yesterday. The eclipse-like effect is unreal. He also custom built the wood paneling and shelf with integrated LEDs. 🖤

An older man stands on a step ladder in a modern room, working with his hands at an open ceiling fixture. A white drop cloth covers furniture below him, and dark vertical wood paneling lines the walls.

A modern, dimly lit home office with blue ambient lighting. A circular recessed ceiling light glows softly above a desk setup with a computer, plants, and shelving, framed by dark wood-paneled walls.

When freelance slowed down in early 2024–25, I built @okaydev.co, a creative dev + design community. In the new year, I’m stepping outside my comfort zone and starting to create content about the web, tech, & inspiring work from an okay dev’s perspective. Here’s to learning and building together! 🥂

I’ve been asked to chat with a studio’s team about my work at their monthly event. I’ve done this just once before. Any advice / suggestions on how to keeping it meaningful, interesting, and fun?
