The majority of us are a bunch of self taught people with rather spotty knowledge and that's fine! Kilian (also self taught) is here to share some of the computer science fundamentals you probably are missing with the aim to improve your code in the long term.

Saw this on a LI post today and needed it, so sharing in case someone else does too:

You're allowed to outgrow the version of your brand that got you here.
Sometimes the patterns and things we once needed to get to where we are hold us back from where we're going.
Let go.

Laptop is updated with new stickers after #cyc2025! 💜
The back of a silver laptop covered in stickers. They show my love of Javascript, communities, pets, and words of affirmation. The new stickers are a cute shiba with hexagonal glasses, a bow tie, and a laptop; a frog catching a fly with the text debugging underneath him; and a chicken in a yellow circle with the text free range developers surrounding them.

I had the absolute best time at #cyc2025 the past few days. My heart is so full. I'd add pictures but it won't let me select multiple photos right now lol so I'll have to add them throughout the week. But I have the best friends.

I'll share talk recaps on LinkedIn next week!

Today I asked my cards:
- I'm going to go through a task that I know has a high chance to make me feel down on myself. Any advice for getting through it?
- How can I show myself compassion today?
- Anything you want me to share with the world?

These are the cards I drew. My interpretation of them:
Three tarot cards laid out in a row. From left to right: the six of cups, showing a woman buying flowers from a flower cart; the five of cups, showing a woman on the floor crying at some spilled teacups while some upright ones rest behind her; and justice, a judge sitting at a laptop with a dog at her feet and a cape and witch hat hanging on her clothes rack next to her.

The biggest struggle I have when wanting to build some new idea I have is picking WHAT to build it in/with. I have no set stack to go to, so each new project feels like I have to go through the process of picking all that to get started, which quickly gets overwhelming, and so I never start.

Shame is one of the hardest things about ADHD for me. I'm back and the book is finished but instead of feeling proud, I feel ashamed for not having managed to stay active, manage my household better or even shower regularly.
A comic with several panels about ADHD and shame. First panel, Kiki struggles holding a ton of items, while her peers only hold single sheets of papers. “I Spend so much time trying to fit in, hiding how forgetful and chaotic I am, but also pretending my struggles are like everyone else's." Second panel, Kiki’s mother is pointing at her. “I’ve faced so much rejection and trouble for thing I didn’t even know were wrong, just for being myself, that it feels like I have to hide who I am.” Third panel, Kiki is taking off a wig, revealing she is an alien “but what I’m hiding isn’t that I’m an alien, what I’m hiding is all the shame I carry.” Kiki is holding her stomach in pain. A series of Kikis with text. “Shame that I couldn’t fit a shower into my daily tasks. Shame when I can’t let people inside because it’s never clean. Shame when I cry being overwhelmed by paperwork again. Shame when I’m the only one late again. Shame for every white lie I tell because I can’t take one more rejection despite being so burnt out.” Kiki’s face is hidden in shadow as she says “of course I change my bedsheets once a week.” “I’ve used shame as a weapon against myself as a punishment to force myself to learn.” Kiki scolds herself in the mirror. “How well has that been working for you? Are you on time now? More organized?” The Kiki in the mirror is revealed to be a child version of herself. “Why am I never good enough? If I just stopped being like this, people would like me.” Kiki hugs the child version of herself. “You have been brave long enough. You’ve been scolded enough, what you - I would have needed was to be seen. You’re not alone anymore, we will find a way. Together.” Small kiki is pulling the adult Kiki by the hand through their apartment. “Don’t punish emotions,pay attention to them. Missing a shower isn’t failure, it’s a sign, a clue. Ask what’s missing, not what’s wrong with you.” Kiki is standing behind her child self, holding her shoulders in support. “It’s not fair that I never got to feel like I am okay the way I am, that no one say how much I struggled and took all the pain away. Look at everything you’ve been through. It makes sense that you’re the way you are. Let’s try our best. Not to get it right for others, but to finally get to know how WE do things.” “At the very least, I can have my own back.”

Okay y’all, in honor of my 50th birthday in a few weeks, I’m crowdsourcing a “celebration fund” - $50 for 50 years - to help me get some things out of pawn and pay a few bills.

I’d love it if you can, but if you can’t, if you could amplify this message I’d really appreciate it.
