I can't believe I'm at the age where I'm just as old as many of the adults in fiction. Like, I'll be as old as Phoenix Wright from the first game this year.

I think I'm even already older than Apollo Justice. Though, I haven't gotten to those games yet.

Apparently, I'm now using #AceAttorney to measure age milestones.

Can people actually remember their age on the spot? I feel like I always have to take a second or two to do the math.

And I was born in 2000. Literally the easiest year to do age math.

I woke up early to get to the SSS (social security system) office only to find out that they had a number coding system, and my assigned day was yesterday. So now I have to wait a whole week before I can go back.

This was not mentioned anywhere in the instructions.

God, government websites are so slow. I'm literally streaming video with no problem, but your website takes ages to load.

I ended up agreeing to teach my neice guitar tomorrow, and I have no idea what music kids listen to nowadays.

Wait, you're telling me when you call sort() on an array of numbers in Javascript, it first converts them to strings?

So it's practically useless without passing a custom compare function, unless your numbers are all positive and have the same number of digits.

It took me way too long to find out that a terrarium is just an aquarium but with land instead of water. I spent so long not knowing why it was called that.

Technical interview: Which language would you like to use? C, C++, C#, Objective-C, Java?

Me, a Typescript dev: 🙃

I think it's the first time I'ved used a reducer in React in like 3 years (last time was when I used Redux). I always avoided them because of how boilerplate-y they were, but honestly, they're awesome considering the alternative of a whole bunch of useState and useEffect spaghetti.

Nothing feels better than rewriting in a day code that originally took weeks.

I've been using Javascript to scroll an element into view when you click on a link instead of the default behavior of jumping to the element. I didn't realize I could do the same with a single CSS property.

I can only imagine how many things I've done manually in Javascript because I didn't know enough CSS.

Wait a minute, Javascript doesn't take into account different keyboard layouts when dispatching keyboard events? If someone presses the first letter on their keyboard, the KeyboardEvent emitted will always have the key "Q", regardless of keyboard layout.

That's... definitely a choice.

I've been lied to my entire life. Queen Bees don't actually have any sort of power. All they do is lay eggs. As long as she does that, the bees take care of them. When they can't reproduce anymore, the bees kill them.

I was feeling really down, so I decided to cheer myself up by changing my cover photo.

This is the only motivational message that I will accept. Truer words have never been spoken.

I will forever curse my father for having an "ñ" in his middle name. To this day I still don't know how to type it. Whenever I'm filling up some kind of form, I have to look up a word with an "ñ" so that I can copy-paste the character.

I just realized that the day after you turn a certain age, you are technically now over that age.

So if I turn 23 today, I'll technically be over 23 tomorrow since I'd be 23 years and one day old.

I'm sure this knowledge will come in handy someday.

I just watched the Barbie movie, and I'm not really crazy about it. It feels so sanitized. Like a worse version of The Lego Movie (which, funnily enough, also had Will Ferrel).

It's obviously not a movie made for me, and I don't know how effective it was for its actual target audience. Though, I still feel like it could've been much better.

The best part was the Ken fight/dance.

I just got done with my interview, and I honestly don't know if it went well or not 😅

Apparently, I was the last candidate for the day, and I don't know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing for me. I felt like it ended really fast.

I need some advice for a job interview. I'm supposed to present some code that I've written, but I don't know what I should choose.

Do I choose a small piece of code from a project? How do I decide which part to present? My projects are all in React and I'm not sure if they're familiar with React code.

Should I choose single file programs instead, like my Advent of Code solutions?

The cool weather we've had for the last few weeks was too good to last. It's starting to heat up again.
