Oh wow! Good find 😁

I got all my wisdom teeth out 6 years ago and I didn't need any recovery time, there was absolutely no pain or anything - 🤞🏽 you are the same!

I think I've seen this before where if you've changed the WordPress URL in config after creating posts, they'll still reference the old ones

Didn't record this in the end - I'm happy writing up a quick post (probably later / tomorrow) to recap it?

Hey folks, just to say that I've got a (pending moderation) request out for me to adopt Job DSL so I can at least help get this over the line, and start looking at the other PRs currently open with the project!

Is the Auth experience something you want to differentiate on? If no, I'd recommend using free tier Okta/Auth0/FusionAuth etc, make sure you wrap it in abstraction so you can move away a little more easily and focus on the rest of your project

Yup on https://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/ they say " For new API users, learn more about the Meetup GraphQL API. RESTful API support will stop in winter 2021." which is great when you can't use the replacement 🙄

Hey @meetup any help with this? Trying to migrate a few projects before you remove the RESTful APIs this winter 😬

Does this include breaking down unethical uses of software by organisations like ICE?

You can give https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator a go ☺

I'd have assumed that ie Android for Work would be good - is that not the case?

Something quite nice that @pascaldoesgo has done with his libraries (at least at work, not checked his personal projects) is have an examples directory under the tests for even more focused examples, and it works really nicely

Netlify is what I always recommend folks do and pair it with a static site generator like Hugo or Eleventy. I run #HomebrewWebsiteClub (https://events.indieweb.org/2021/10/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-P9xE0w648Lqz) as a meetup to get stuck into building your personal website if you're interested ☺

I've got a 3000 kicking about if you fancy it?

Reminds me of https://youtu.be/YbYWhdLO43Q

Doing well thanks ☺ been weird not bumping into you at events and catching up more, how are you?

Woop! Well done on getting up here with all the petrol problems 😅 hope to see you around soon, would be good to catch up!

You moved back?! ☺

Oh Michael I'm so sorry to hear that - sending good vibes. I've never been a good grieved, and when my grandmother died last year I found it odd too.

Take care and reflect on the good times ❤️

Also really bad for accessibility 😳

Haha that makes a lot more sense 😅

If you've already fetched the Git history from the remote you shouldn't need WiFi to rebase any more 🤞🏽

More as a way to have historical record of what I've been upto - it also makes a Year in Review easier, as I can look back and pick up on themes - but also as a way to remind myself what good/bad stuff happens, and process the week before a new one starts. It's kinda therapeutic, but also does make it quite visible when I've had a bad week / it's not been noteworthy. I unfortunately don't write as much about how I feel as it's public but I'm going to support writing privately before long which will allow me to augment the posts with more intimate info

People you're not close with / not there yet with trying to hug you - more likely pre COVID, but still a problem!

My personal blog has a mix of all things - it's largely tech related but I have personal things like my Week Notes, and even social media responses like this one ☺ I really enjoy having it as a single view of me

Ah that's a lovely log burner!

Monty Python. Logging into the Majestic Moose always gives me a chuckle

I thought you'd be able to run AWS Lambda all through EU only regions?

Have you looked into #IndieAuth (https://indieauth.net/) it's an open standard from the #IndieWeb community and allows folks to log in via their personal website - it's built on top of OAuth2 so is fairly straightforward to add support for!

Where can one get these? 👀

True, but it does exclude non-binary folks who have vaginas? So using this terminology is inclusive to all

I'm using Zoho and it works nicely - free for your first domain, too! (they've got a load of other business-y things you can use but I've not delved into it)

Congrats!

I'd also say that ads are much harder to block in a native app compared to a browser app

So what? They never said they're only gonna be available once, and you having access to the game longer than someone else doesn't mean you need to be the only person with a pretty cool skin

Just to add another voice to the mix - I've had huge success through blogging about stuff I've learned and want to document for future folks (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/) but also the #IndieWeb side of owning my data, and replying to this post from my website

This sounds like one hell of a jump for an excuse. You can come across a lot more sincere - saying "everyone knows I'm not an asshole" when you're in fact being an asshole and making personal attacks isn't a good look

Thiccen nuggets 😁

This is in £GBP - maybe I should've clarified! I'll update the post in the morning

You've got nothing to apologise for, there's no way you would've known! I have more privilege because people do just think I'm a white dude 😁

Thank you Rachel ♥ unfortunately I'm only white-ish as I'm half Indian, but no one can tell so it definitely plays in my favour!

Haha thanks. Yes public sector are public, and the range for my salary is viewable for people so I'm just making it more specific ☺ Capital One are generally quite visible with their salaries - and a senior manager mentioned they're happy me sharing it, I assume largely because the company is happy with how they fairly compensate employees

One thing Capital One at least does is make it very competitive, as a way of bringing talent out of London - even though we also have London offices - I believe the salaries are higher now too!

I 100% agree 😅 definitely seems a bit steep when you compare to jobs that actually deserve more like nurses, teachers etc

Ooh I love this!

Ooh good shout - would looking at my CV (https://hire.jvt.me) help? Or is a bit more info needed?

While on placement year at Intel I was involved in interviewing for my replacement, and someone demoed "their code" which was a sample project from the Android SDK and despite asking pointed questions, they didn't admit to it 😬

Enjoy the well deserved holiday!

Maybe they're using DuckDuckGo /s

Shame it's throwing shade at you though 😅
