☀️ Back from adventures, but not ready to trade the sunshine for four walls. Summer code sessions + iced coffee = peak productivity. 💻✨ #RemoteWorkLife #SummerVibes #CodingInTheSun #DigitalNomad #WomenInTech #FreelanceLife #IcedCoffeeFuel #WorkFromAnywhere #TechLifestyle #BackToCode #OutdoorOffice

Trying to stretch these last few moments of wilderness before heading home… breakfast by the fire, coffee in hand, and mountain air in the Catskills (aka the Irish Alps) 🌲🔥☕ #RechargeMode #IrishAlps #CatskillMountains #CoffeeByTheFire #GirlsWhoCode #OutdoorEscape #MountainVibes #WorkLifeBalance

North of the 45th parallel, trading ocean waves for lake breezes. No freckle filter needed today 🌞🌊 #nofilterneeded #freckledandfree #northerngetaway #digitaldetox #lakeviews #summerescape #freelancelife #remoteworkvibes #naturebreak #unplugged

Swapped the beach for pine trees 🌲. Sitting here on the 45th parallel—perfectly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole… and somehow still debugging in my head 🧭💻 #45thParallel #DigitalNomadLife #WomenWhoCode #DevLife #NatureBreak

Silence ≠ absence.
I’m building something that matters. 🛠️

QA week means two things:
1. The bugs are out 🐛
2. So is the extra coffee ☕💻

Quick coffee break before diving back into the mess that is my services layer.
Java, both kinds, required. ☕️💻

Saturday morning reset 🌿
Farmer’s market, iced coffee, and no code until noon.
(Probably.)

Spring Boot had me fighting for my life this morning 😮‍💨 Anyone else still pretending to “just need 5 more minutes”? #SpringBoot #DevLife #WomenWhoCode #CodingLife #CoffeeAndCode #TechStruggles #CodeGirl #MessyBunAndCode #SoftwareEngineer #JavaDev #FrecklesAndCode #WorkingFromHome #DebuggingLife

Spring Boot really said:
“Oh, you didn’t explicitly disable caching?
Guess I’ll do whatever I want then.”
ok cool cool cool 🫠

Mia Santori @frecklesandcode.bsky.social · Jul 8

Back at my desk and fully in flow.
Vacation was needed — but building things I believe in? That’s the real recharge. ☕💻✨

Not coding today. Just grilled corn, cold drinks, and fireworks later. Hope you’re taking time for yourself too 🇺🇸✨

Mia Santori @frecklesandcode.bsky.social · Jul 3

My sister took this. She always catches me in my quiet moments.
Do you have someone who sees you like that?

Vacation Day 3: iced coffee, no code, no guilt ☕🌴

Sometimes the best productivity boost is stepping completely away from the keyboard. Just sun, breeze, and letting the brain breathe.

Day 2 of vacation:
Still checking email out of muscle memory.
I’ll stop. eventually.

Mia Santori @frecklesandcode.bsky.social · Jun 30

out-of-office is on.
caffeine and calm only this week ✌️☕🌿

Shipping clean code before the weekend is the dream.

do you ever sit down to “fix one thing real quick” and suddenly it’s 5 hours later and you’ve refactored half the app and written 3 existential TODO comments?

14 days until the big deadline.
today’s scrum update: “everything is on track”
(narrator: it was not)

tuesday: gently pretending my scrum updates aren’t totally fabricated 😅☕💻

Mia Santori @frecklesandcode.bsky.social · Jun 23

Looks like a deep dive coding day 🧠💻
4 hours in → 3 new bugs, 2 coffee refills, 1 existential crisis 😅 #deepcode #saasdeveloper #codinggirls #freelancelifestyle #remoteworkvibes #digitalnomadlife #devlife #codinggrind #freelancecoding #cozycoding

long weekends are for gentle resets 🌊☀️
beach walk ➔ iced coffee ➔ maybe opening the laptop later… maybe 😅
