These tickets are vanishing like vampires at sunrise and I'm running out of garlic-scented emails to ward off the FOMO demons. Secure yours before they dissolve into digital mist. 🧛‍♂️

Love reading and asking questions in @stackoverflow.com.web.brid.gy , but you have been warned, it allows you to post once every 30 minutes

After learning and completing a new algo, I love to reset it.

I'm always amazed of what I retained and it helps me understand what is happening with the data as I traverse line by line.

Do you reset your code as well?

Mai | Software Engineer @maiproject218.bsky.social · 9d

I thought I learned all the data structures Python has to offer but there's a defaultdict

What I understand about how it operates differently from a dict is it safeguard against empty values that haven't exist.

Perhaps I'll have to use more defaultdict vs dict more often??

These are the side effects I need and so do you!

MagnoliaConf (OCT 21-23!) @magnolia.boo · 9d

Developers who attend MagnoliaConf 2025 report strange side effects: increased collaboration, mysterious mentorship abilities, and an inexplicable urge to help strangers with their code. Join us. 🧙‍♂️

My next step is to look for Hmong speech recognition services..stay tuned

Graphs are not my forte so here's to getting better at them.

I'm going through @neetcode1.bsky.social list of graphs he recommended and this is the first problem.

After gathering the grand total of perimeter, we can start to subtract row and col if it's land touching land.

Other conferences make sponsors blend into the background. We let you rise from the digital graveyard and terrorize attendees with your APIs. Be the sponsor that haunts their GitHub commits forever. 👻

posting this here because I feel like we’re all buddies

if you want to come to @magnolia.boo and you’ve been laid off or are otherwise unemployed or just need some help, holler at me or @richard.sween.dev.

as long as you can make it to Jackson, we don’t want the cost of tickets to be a barrier 💙
