Weeknotes March 31 2025

Work

• Calming the panic when Shopify had an outage on Wednesday afternoon. It was only about 45 minutes, but I hate to think how many businesses it affected.
• Working on everyone's favourite thing in the world, liquid templates.
• Figuring out a Klaviyo integration with our existing frontend infrastructure

Other Dev

• Little bits and pieces such as dependency upgrades, but nothing major this week. Too exhausted.

Learning

• Courses are on the backburner again for now - I keep looking at my copy of The Nature of Code and then being intimidated by Maths™️
• Refreshing my Ruby and Rails knowledge a bit and learning about Turbo/Stimulus for a potential upcoming side project. This stuff has come SO far since I studied it at bootcamp.

Personal

• A dear former colleague and friend passed away this week after a battle with cancer, and I am heartbroken. Rest in peace, Paul - you were the best of us and the last person who deserved this. If I write more about this I am going to cry.
• Finished my previous book and started reading Unmasked by Ellie Middleton. I'm enjoying it so far and appreciate the discussion around intersectional marginalisation in the AuDHD community.
