Monthly #SocialAnxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord turns 18 in a week!
It's remarkable how much can change over the course of 1.5 years. Lots of downs, some ups.
Life is a rollercoaster.

On Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Day I'll host my 17th Social Anxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord. So I had to go with the theme!

Just announced the 16th monthly #100Devs #SocialAnxiety Meetup!
When I started this last year, I was always super scared and couldn’t sleep the days before.
Nowadays, I’m just excited to meet all the wonderful people. 😊

First anniversary of the monthly meetups. First time I'm not the main host. So proud of my #100devs folks 💪

Thank you @leonnoel.bsky.social for mentioning our little group in the huddles whenever someone mentions anxiety <3

When I started this I thought I'm alone with #socialAnxiety. We are not! ❤️

In the #socialAnxiety meetups that I organize monthly on #100Devs, the question often comes up about how to handle 'awkward silence' in conversations. I built something for that this morning.

On Sunday, I'll celebrate my birthday by hosting the 12th #socialAnxiety meetup on #100Devs Discord. The last few months have been tough, and without this community, I might have given up. I often leave isolation knowing these meetups help people, including me.

Today, I helped Santa calculate how many reindeers he needs. 😊

I also really love using spacedesk to turn my tablet into a free alternative to buying a second screen. Should I make a video about it?

I did some tests. A .exe sending key events.
#Csharp is faster but makes more sense for a #JavaScript kiddie like me to learn #Python
Gladly @mayanwolfe.bsky.social got me covered :)
Oh and #AutoHotKey is by far the fastest but I certainly won't learn a specialized language in depth without pay.

Okay Python is too slow. Let's try C# :D #csharp

Let's gooo! #Python

Today, I reminded myself that it's totally fine to feel sad and to need some rest.
As I prepare for the Social Anxiety Meetup I'll be hosting today, I've been reflecting on my year. Despite the struggles, there have been a surprising number of wins.
I hope others feel the same.

How was your year?

'Bitey McLongface' after a couple weeks: "love you Bro!"

It's that time again... Hosting Social Anxiety Meetup at #100Devs
Last Meetup this year.
I'm so grateful for all the awesome people in this community <3

Special thanks to @leonnoel.bsky.social and @mayanwolfe.bsky.social and @dvkr.bsky.social for all the support <3

I like this idea!

This horse's name is Avalon. During the pandemic I took care of him and his friend.
He passed away yesterday.
My fight against crippling social anxiety started with him teaching me that anxiety and fear are not inherently bad things.
I'm sad and thankful.
Off to greener pastures you go my friend! <3

I always thought that I am just a random idiot.😔
Now I am a random idiot who merged a PR. 😀👍

Oh it's that time of the month again 🙈😍
Gott host it. Can't let my people down <3

Hi friends, I am 40 3/4 old Matthias from Germany (Muh-Tea-Us but you can call me Loretta if you get the joke) and my first contact with code was Myspace.
What was your first exposure to code?
When did you start? What made you stay? Where are are you on your coding journey?
Tell me/us everything :)
