Spent today writing documentation instead of features. Felt unproductive. Will feel extremely productive in four months. #dev

If you are stuck, change the medium. Explain it out loud. Draw it. Write it as if to a beginner. The bug usually appears in the translation. #dev

Nilijaribu kuexplain kwa mum kazi yangu. Nikasema natengeneza website. Akauliza, 'na hizo zinamalizika lini?'. Swali gumu.

The best hour of my week is the one where I close everything and read code I did not write. No goal, no ticket. #learning

The single best thing you can do for a slow page is not a faster server. It is sending less. Fewer requests, smaller images, less JavaScript. #dev

Line height does more for readability than font choice. Most body text wants about 1.6. Most people ship 1.2 and wonder why it feels tight. #design

There is more water in the Sun than in all of Earth's oceans. Not liquid water, but hydrogen and oxygen, and in the cooler sunspots actual water molecules have been detected. #science

Tabs with an underline that travels to whatever you pick, measured from the tab itself rather than hard coded.

Arrow keys work, because tabs are a listbox to a keyboard and the browser will not do that part for you. #javascript #design

Sharks existed before trees. Sharks are about 400 million years old, the first trees around 350 million.

They have also outlived four mass extinctions, which is a better record than most companies. #science

A logo ticker that loops with no gap and no JavaScript. The list is duplicated once and the track slides exactly half its width, so the seam never shows.

It pauses on hover, because a moving thing you cannot read is just noise. #css

Started a habit this month: before I touch the keyboard, I write what I am about to do in one sentence. If I cannot write the sentence, I do not understand the task yet.

Has cut my wasted hours more than any tool ever did.

Reading Proverbs 16:3 again this morning. Commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.

Not "your plans will be easy". Established. There is a difference and this year taught me what it is.
