Came back on Twitter temporarily after a long break to look at all the #harrisonbutker memes 😆


I can’t stand all the Taylor Swift hate and conservative bull💩 on Twitter. I’m moving to Threads. Bye.

Resolution for 2024: prioritize the right things in life. What are the right things? Things that make for a happy life. Like what? Basically just good health/mental health and quality relationships with partner, family and friends.

"Intro to Memory Profiling & Chrome DevTools Memory Tab explained" I finally took some time to write down what I've learned about memory profiling and how the Chrome DevTools' Memory tab works! medium.com/performance-en…

Intro to Memory Profiling & Chrome DevTools Memory Tab explained

I think the Homer hiding gif best captures my immediate reaction when I saw the Memory tab for the first time.
