And this is how it looks:

I just found the setting how to use TailwindCSS css classes autocompletion in html.erb files. Now I can type the beginning of the class name and TailwindCSS will show me matching autocompletion, even for my html.erb files. πŸŽ‰

I appreciate the Dracula theme (https://draculatheme.com/). But… is there something like a Whiteula theme? I am not so much into dark themes… Just asking πŸ˜‰

Do I know any React freelancer who would like to take over a small project from me? I’m doing reviews of job applicants' take-home React assignments for fyltura.de. You’d need to be a senior-ish level developer, able to review React (JS & TS) and read and write English.

Netlify let’s you play a little game of matching Emojis while you wait for your deploy to finish. That’s cute. 🀩 86BA9F15-12DD-4A18-93E1-C4C39FE45F9B.jpg

😭🀬 bad code is bad 😩

I really like this game. Had a rough start and didn’t get it at first. Then tried it again sitting on a plane with nowhere to go. Now I can’t put it down.

Cheese and crackers! May Standard 11 was a great puzzle!

I got it in 04:02.

This morning I quickly set up an installation of FreshRSS to manage my RSS subscriptions. It syncs every 10 minutes on the server so my client (Reeder 5 on iOS) does not have to do the heavy lifting as it was always very slow. Its great now

I’ve listened to the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album for a few times now. It feels good to her Frusciante’s voice and guitar playing. It was missed. There are a few songs that stick with me after the album ends. Sadly, it’s not great. But maybe that was too much to ask for.

Riding on Zwift (aka commuting to the wfh office) and reading @manton’s book (at book.micro.blog) on microblogging and the open web. πŸ₯³

Staubsaugerroboter sind gar keine Roboter, sondern Saugetiere.

I just signed the web0 manifesto and you can too!

I brought an external display to my new desk in setting.io’s office. I really dig the change of scenery and having an optional commute again.

My micro.blog timeline is pretty empty during the day as I mostly follow people from US timezones.

I just spent more than 60 minutes reading up on Arel and trying a bunch of different things just to learn that it won’t work. So back to writing ugly SQL strings. Too bad.

Spatial audio with AirPods Pro when listening to music on my laptop is really confusing sometimes. After moving my head I wanted to make sure that the sound doesn’t come from the laptop’s speakers and indeed from the headphones. It appeared to come from the laptop. Crazy.

GitHub Codespaces port errors

GitHub codespaces is a great feature by GitHub that let’s me work on an iPad way easier than it was before. It’s also cool for teams to quickly setup a new developer, of switch between branches. I use it for Ruby on Rails development, mostly. Sometimes a thing happens that prevents me from continuing my work and I had trouble finding out how best to solve this. Here’s what happens: I start my codespace and want to spin up a Rails server, to inspect the website.

Something new

Changes! I joined my last client, Edeka, in April 2020. Since then I am not freelancing anymore. My old Wordpress site ran on quite expensive hosting. Which I could justify as a business expense. But since those are gone now, I have to switch to something cheaper. This site now runs as a GitHub pages site, powered by Gatsby. Which I love quite a lot. And now I am free to experiment with this site more, again.

Onboarding new team members

Tomorrow I will help a new team member onboard at my client. I am the acting tech-lead for the client right now and so it’s my job to make sure that everything is in place for this new member of the team. The former tech lead onboarded me in September (not so long ago). He had prepared a list of tasks we had to do together. He even created a whole new Trello board, just for the onboarding.
