Sage Link ParentYeah, currently I use Tailwind sometimes on personal or small projects. Its alright, but my designs still aren't the greatest.

Does anyone have any good resources, books or otherwise, in regards do good design for web dev? I'm a self taught full stack dev who just can't really make things look "pretty". They are functional, but..that's about it. I know CSS, but maybe I just don't have an eye for it?
Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

I never thought of changing the intervals either.

Hey everyone!
Do you have any experience with time blocking? Do you use any apps to help or do you do it all manually in your calendar? I recently watched a video I found on Tildes by Answer in Progress (https://youtu.be/vYaNiC4kchg?si=zh02N4bStqAhBBAe) about attention span. I have heard a lot about time blocking in the past, but always thought I never really needed it.
However, recently I've been starting to realize maybe I'm not doing well mentally..days can slip by on YouTube, or a video game, and the things I wanted to get done get pushed back to the next day..and the next day, and so on..or things I was passionate about, things I want to succeed in that I am good at..just sort of slip away, and I stop doing them and lose my drive. So maybe I need to block time to get it done... I'm not sure. So I guess I can try Meditation and time blocking..
Anyway, anyone have some suggestions if they do this? Have you found that it helped?

If you want a small, but horrifying, glimpse into what these industries are like then take a listen (I warned you). Hopefully lab grown meat one day wipes out these industries.
This is just another story of politicians siding with people lining there pockets though, I'm sure.

I was using some of the free ones, but eventually their VC funding runs out and it turns to a paid service instead. It doesn't have to be free, but if you have any to suggest, great! I guess I'm looking for a cheap option for an API that will probably be rarely hit.

With all the recent One Piece hype I decided I wanted to get caught up so I can start watching the anime, so I started reading the manga.
I just have to say that wow, manga itself is really cool and I wish I started reading it sooner. Maybe it is just One Piece, as that is all I have been reading so far, but they are in such small bite size chapters that I can sit down and bang out a chapter or more often a few. I don't have as much time these days to sit and have anime binge sessions..so being able to enjoy it in this format is just great.
Anyway, I just got to....
spoilers below...for a ~17 year old episode, lol
Nico Robin's "I WANT TO LIVE" part and wow, I got shivers!I have not had feels like that for awhile in an episode. I love to look up clips in the anime after I finish reading it, like big fights or emotional parts, and that did not disappoint. Anyway, if anyone has not started One Piece and you are intimidated by the amount of episodes then definitely check out the manga. Its really good.

Comment on What field do you work? And do you love your work and workplace? in ~talk

The job is..ok..but extremely unfulfilling. I've been at it for ~7 years now and while I'm still young-ish I cannot picture myself doing this forever. The pay is great for me as someone that did not go to college, and I have recently bought my first house with it. I just want to do something more interesting with my life. I'm in the process or teaching myself to code and thoroughly enjoy it and have fun with it. Maybe someday I'll learn enough to swap careers into web dev. It just sucks, I feel like I'm slowly destroying my body with this job. I'm very good at my job..but, it just eats away slowly at my soul everyday.

It just seems like in the more recent years people just stopped caring about red lights. I see cars fly through red lights a good 3-5 seconds after it turns red, or people who don't think ahead (or don't care) and straight up block intersections because there is no room for them, then their light turns red and they are stuck there blocking the other lane of traffic from moving until they can move.
Indeed to, a general lack of awareness when it comes to making a right on red. Not looking where they are going, or not even a hint of stopping before making their turn. People just seem more careless these days. Maybe a lack of consequence and getting away with it all the time, maybe they are distracted by a cell phone. Who knows, but it sure is frustrating to drive for a living.
This a great post, thank you!
I've been kicking around the idea of getting the Refactoring UI book, mostly the price tag has stopped me. Did you find it very useful? I seem to be stuck at the level of...able to write CSS no problem, but, it just looks flat and boring, I guess?
You know the feeling when you come across a beautiful website, and you just kind of appreciate how nice it is? The font, the spacing, the color palette choice. A good site can stop me and make me dig through the dev console to see what's going on. I'd like to get there eventually. Do you think Refactoring UI is a book that can start me on that journey?
