Hey, so I wrote an article about one of the first design system projects I took on as a new Design Engineer for @onesignal - check it out! onesignal.com/blog/11-shades…

There is no such thing as an offline-only business anymore, and every online business needs messaging. Yet most messaging solutions were not built for a mobile-centric world. @OneSignal just raised $50M to solve this problem. A 🧵... techcrunch.com/2022/09/01/one…

We’re thrilled to announce that we've raised a $50 million Series C round of funding to help us achieve our goal of democratizing customer engagement. Learn more: buff.ly/3RrLKxZ

It ended up working out, we got in contact and it went well. I’m onto the next round! Turns out it was a reception issue for the interviewer. Thanks for the advice @borisisntreal & @christinavcodes!

I had a first round interview scheduled at a very cool mission-driven company for a software engineer apprenticeship, but the interviewer has ghosted me twice - once last week and just now. Should I forget them or give them another chance? #webdevelopment #JobSearch #career #jobs

@devinDford @storybookjs I love Storybook! I’m using it to QA and document a library I’m working on. It helped me catch many edge cases that would take forever to manually discover. Gives me confidence that what I’m building can work with any crazy idea my future users will have!

Found out that there is a good chance I’ll be in charge of setting up @storybookjs for our project at work. I’ve never worked with it before, but it looks incredible and seems so helpful. Hoping this ends up happening, because I can’t wait to get started working with it!

@devinDford For a long time, I've seen devs take the 'sympathetic' approach towards their users, doing just enough. Everyone wins (devs, users, and the business) when we embody true empathy for our users and build something indispensable to them.

I think as developers, we can often miss why we're writing the code we are. The customer or end-user doesn't care how we did it or what WE think is best for them, they have a job they want to be done, and they want a tool to do that job. The more I realize that, the better I am

Are you sure?

Day 21/22 #100daysofcode: added Storybook to my React UI kit for better docs and testing. Really loving it so far, I've already found several edge cases in my components that would have been a real pain to QA without this! #webdev #reactjs #programming #webdevelopement
