Shopify developer at D2C Developers in Denver.
There at least 2M+ pine trees in my peripheral view while writing code right now and it is so nice. The air is crisp like apples. The code is light and easy. This is my new normal and I am filled with gratitude.

No longer sentimental for code. It is all debt and/or trash. Human sourced or not.

I’ve interviewed ten different Shopify developers in the last few weeks and i might be in love with recruiting. Finding the right “hell yes” for both parties feels so good.

What are some of the info/entertainment things you watch while coding / working? I’m all in on Area52 but am running out fast

scared that one day posthog is going to raise their prices dramatically now that i've replaced ga4, hotjar/clarity, monetate, and now sentry (error reporting still in beta) with their respecctive posthog alternatives.

thinking about the time i somehow loaded into the wrong venue and started setting my rig up for sound check with the stage manager before we all figured out I was the wrong band at the wrong venue. only found out because i texted my band to tell them i was at sound check. so were they. . .

Sometimes “agile” really just feels like “I didn’t want to think more than two weeks ahead” and thus we putter around continuously improving nothing in two week increments. An excuse to cut corners and ship trash.

How do you help a team make it NOT that?

ive started playing roblox specifically because of the new shopify integration but i haven't interacted with any brands in there yet. really want to build something in here.

wonder if there is a market for "real" devs helping vibe coders get over the "hard" parts of software development. i would love that.

like literally how do i update the contents of a div that has been banished to the 2nd layer of the shadow dom i can go to bed after
March 29, 2025 at 2:25 AM
i'm sorry but my brain refuses to let web developers claim the term "shadow dom"

our developers have developed better taste and figma chops than our designers what do I do
March 27, 2025 at 3:09 PM
I might add audio of birds and wind to the lp of a d2c olive oil site, recorded from the farm where it is grown, that plays while a 3D render of the bottle animates on a bg img of the farm.

I want to hear from the pro web devs:

How would you do this with taste?

What would make everyone hate it?

I regret closing my business to work a full time job and I am course correcting today. Join me in betting on yourself!

In Jan '21 I did ~50 interviews for JS roles. I ended that job search with 5 different offers at and above my asking range. I accepted an offer at a startup with a great fit.

i see lots of people in my timeline talking about eggs and i'm really not sure if they are talking about the UAPs or the dessert.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.

Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?
