@rho Note that this episode was recorded back in March, so when we're referring to the weather, it made sense at the time.

Human Side of Dev is back! @rho talks about her experiences as a software engineer and having to make different technologies work together. Listen here!

@furioursus You're welcome! Glad it's useful!

@ryedai Thanks!

I share the latest releases of Human Side of Dev on both Twitter and Mastodon. Currently, Mastodon makes up about 56% of traffic, while Twitter is 34%. With the recently announced changes, I expect that second number to drop.

I find this interesting both because I have significantly fewer followers on Mastodon, and because the timeline is only chronological. I feel like the correct decision is to focus more on interacting on Mastodon in order to build an audience for the show.

Latest Human Side of Dev is released! I chat with @ben about good documentation, the importance of accessible web applications and sites, and finding a supportive and inclusive community!

If I'm going to be maintaining this site, I might as well get some personal benefit out of it. It's been fun to extend it in this way, and that's all I can ask from a side project.

But probably the first thing I added besides blogging and podcasting was a read-only view of my Mastodon usage. It was really fun to integrate into the site, and feels like a logical extension of using such an open platform.

For awhile I've been on the hunt for a good recipe app. I use one that I really like, but it felt reasonable to build a very simple version for myself. I'm migrating the recipes I make onto my site, and when cooking I can check off used ingredients.

One example is this page I created to track my stats for Blood on the Clocktower. I started recording my games at the start of the year, and it's been fun to see what roles I've gotten and my personal win rate. Nobody else probably cares, but it's been fun.

I've slowly been changing my less from a showcase to a personal resource. Originally it was just a place to collect my writing and podcasting, and highlight a few of the projects I've done, but I've been adding more pages that I personally reference, and that feels good.

Wait, who was bold enough to claim HTML as their favorite programming language on Human Side of Dev?? You'll have to listen on Tuesday to find out!

I've added a page to the Human Side of Dev site to track guests' favorite programming languages. Four episodes in, Typescript is currently in the lead, but we'll see how that looks going forward!

In today's episode of Human Side of Dev, I talk with Star Richardson about her journey to become a software engineer during the COVID pandemic. We talk about resources to learn, techniques Star used, and what she did to find her first job as an engineer.

@briannawu Doesn’t help that Twitter is running pretty slow today, it feels like.
