💌 The Compassionate Coding newsletter I write from the heart and share a mix of personal anecdotes from my client work, research papers, events, and practical tips on bringing more compassion to software development. Many non-devs subscribe as well. I read—and treasure—all the replies, and I respond to as many as I can! compassionatecoding.com/sign…

From a beautiful holiday (and goodbye 🥲) hike. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Early present. 🎁

Gorgeous sunset last night.

Vegan holiday cookie exchange! 🎄

My last fruit pick in San Diego. 🥲

It was a joy to see @gregcons deliver this talk live! It’s full of practical suggestions for healthy coding and living at any age. Highly recommend.

After seeing @ericwastl's great talk at @CppNorth, I was inspired to try Advent of Code for the first time. Puzzles can be fun when you're not in a job interview! I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 adventofcode.com/2024/day/1 #AdventOfCode

Sunday savoring to ward off Sunday scaries.

Every year my park docent friend leads a hike as an alternative to Black Friday shopping. It was lovely as always. 🍁

Vibrant skies tonight.

So nice to visit East Coast clients in the fall. 🍂

I was still working when I saw the clouds starting to show some color. This was definitely worth a break!
