Hey there! I’m currently looking for work, considering both contract or full-time. 20+ years experience building web applications, equal parts front and backend. Can start anytime. Please retweet for good karma ❤️🙏🏻

@dgeb @jsonapi @OrbitJS Thank you Dan! Your work benefits us all and is super appreciated 🙏🏻

Starting today, I’ll be focusing my open source work more exclusively on two projects: @jsonapi and @OrbitJS. Both projects have big potential but need guidance and attention to get there. I’m glad to have you all along for the journey. Please reach out if you want to help :)

My company Functional is hiring. I have tried to reach out to women, POC and underrepresented communities in tech but to no avail. I know our differences make us stronger as a company. If you know someone who has some Ember experience and is not a 40-50 white male please DM me 🙏🏻

@Twitch Bob Ross!

Name the best game you never knew about until you saw it on stream.

Hey friends, we’re hiring at Functional! Fully remote, $$$, fun projects, and an awesome team. Looking for 1-2 mid-senior level devs. Reach out to me directly if you’d like more deets. Tell your friends! 🙏🏻

GO TEAM SPIRIT!

@bcardarella @diamondgfx I’m still using a brother HL-5370DW laser printer from 2004 and it’s going strong. I think I’ve change the toner cartridge once

@paulhildebrandt I love this!!!!

I took my son’s phone so he could concentrate on his schoolwork. I saw how his apps were organized. It’s confirmed that he leans more artistic than technical.

@brentdanley I was once at a Netflix company meeting where they did a april fools stage presentation about their new Chill product. Get out from under that rock Mr..

Hanging out with my middle daughter, Jenna (19), at my loft. I’m painting and cleaning and cooking. I told her she could Netflix and Chill. The look she gave me was somewhere been extreme disapproval and alarm. I didn’t realize the expression is a sexual innuendo. #dadfail

@AspyrMedia For the love of god, show mac some love and fix the metal crashes that were introduced with greater storm. You literally make me cry.

We're working quickly to bring Civilization VI - New Frontier Pass content to Mac and Linux and will share more soon

@shawndumas That sounds super helpful actually.

Is there an iOS app that asks customs question at set intervals? I have reoccurring pain & I am trying to diagnose it. I thought that if I had a way to ask myself a custom set of multiple choice questions at a set interval (things like posture, etc) it’d help! #lazytwitter

@shawndumas @buttonshy You have the best games!

I love love love @buttonshy games!

@melaniersumner That looks like an ocean on its own! Great photo

Mid-flight moon. 😍 See you soon, San Francisco! instagram.com/p/B7JJGcAlb3d/…

@MiguelCamba @matixmatix @brendanohara @sveltejs @emberjs If you reach any limitations with rollup, you can just swap it out for Webpack. I’m crazy impressed with Svelte/Sapper. Not a ton of moving parts. It’s components and turtles all the way down.

@matixmatix @brendanohara @sveltejs @codeofficer @emberjs I built the same app with and without sapper. Sapper's router is better than the others, it seemed solid to me. My only concern is that being new to rollup, the build process and the code splitting is somewhat misterious and daunting. I don't dare to touch the defaults

Today I built a non-trivial PWA with @sveltejs. The app's JS bundle is so small that just adding a i18n library made it 50% bigger. Even after that, the app is half the size of its 512x512 favicon

@FiraxisGames I submitted a bug report weeks ago for MacOs Civ 6. No response. Pretty please can you work on the metal crash fixes. It's not just when loading a game. It's making it super hard to play with friends. I've read your blog post. These crashes are different.

Getting into the holiday spirit. I’m starting to get the hang of this. #ember #christmas
