    Built a thing to play Chrome's Dino game with mind control! 🤩🧠 Using the Notion brain sensor and a few lines of Node.js, I trained the device to recognise a particular thought and trigger a jump 🦖

    I don't know if people really appreciate how much effort goes into trying to explain complex things so it's accessible to everyone. I love doing this work but sometimes I think about how much time I spend on it and people will probably just skim-read like it's nothing 🥲

    It always makes me happy when I have a conversation with a random person and they try to figure out where my accent's from and their first guess is that I'm Australian 🇦🇺🥰 It's a small thing but honestly I feel homesick so it just brightened my day a little

    Damn, I feel both proud and ashamed... 🇫🇷 About 42% of voters chose the far-right candidate, 8% more than in 2017... This is so depressing and terrifying 😢 Another 8% in 2027 and it's over.

    🌟🆕 from the Stripe Docs lab: . (Or hit ~ on any docs page.) (1) Navigate docs directly. (Surprisingly useful.) (2) Invoke Stripe CLI commands without leaving the page. Reinforces my belief that more web apps should have consoles!

    Wow, this is cool!

    Glad to see new is out so can finally share. It takes single image of human to generate 3D model (realistic from all angles)! Imagine possibilities for +beyond if you used in browser. Future project?

    I recorded my talk for the DevsForUkraine conference today and I'm not very good at pre-recording talks so it was a bit of a rollercoaster 🎢😅 Here's some kind of "behind the scenes" to give you an idea... If you're curious though, join us next week! 😃

    I just read an email subject "Deadline reminder" as "Deadly reminder" and that's definitely a way to get my attention.

    For educational purposes, I spent the afternoon making a ransomware script that encrypts files that can't be decrypted without a private key, executed it from a custom Node.js module and it's both scary how easy it was and amazing most people don't do that. It was SO MUCH FUN!😃

    I know recruiting is hard and people are probably swamped but wouldn't it be more efficient to contact less people but do it properly? Idk maybe this whole thing works, just not on me? I doubt it. Anyway, end of rant, haven't slept well this week so I'm getting grumpy 😾

    What these messages usually tell me is that either a company doesn't really know what they want out of a developer advocate or even worse, that they don't care about quality, they just want someone with a following 🚩🚩🚩

    It really annoys me when people think working at a Big Tech Co is enough to be an interesting candidate. I've been at Stripe for less than 2 months so it's not where I've done my best work yet. If people really wanna judge my work, it's out there, posts, repos, projects, etc.
