Vegan Schnitzel and Codon Blues are the one thing that basically every supermarket has (usually even in several brands, including their own store brand) and that consistently taste great. So when my work cafeteria doesn't have any vegan options, a Schnitzel in a Bread roll is one of my go-to things to pack as a work lunch. I don't think that anyone has ever commented on it.
Very Kandra coded, I'm down
Bookmarking this, so far I've cobbled my Dark/Light Mode switch together with Material-UI themes, but this seems like the cleaner way to do this that I've been searching for!
I only figured this out like, a month ago! I only became a frontend dev when I got shifted into a new team at work, so I came in with zero prior knowledge and have been using exclusively React and Typescript since Day 1. Didn't even know how to add a css class to something or what tags beside <div> html has until I started a personal project, ran into performance issues (while hosting it in a shitty aws free tier micro t2 lol) and started investigating why my code loads 3MB of Javascript every time I refresh the page.
I'm working on getting better at it in my personal project, might even try kicking React out entirely and seeing whether just Laravel Blade + Livewire already does everything I need. No way that I'm rocking the boat at work tho.
I don't get the concept of "learning" a specific programming language, you can't just sit down and learn the entire thing at once. You use it, google its weird quirks whenever you come across them and get better with it over time.
I've always been really language agnostic, which led to me being shifted into a Delphi team and then into a Typescript/React team. Didn't know anything about those languages when I entered the team but someone who's willing to just try their best can be a lot more desirable to a company than someone who thinks they can't do something just because they didn't spend time learning it "properly" first.
Also, might just be a regional thing, but the last time I went to one of those "I just finished university and want to network with companies" events, like 70% of the CS graduates were looking for Data Science positions. Seems like it's quite the saturated market.
The banana costume couple after them are goals
More like SVGs in a PNG world - Much better compression and quality, but completely foreign to someone who only knows how to work with rasterized formats
Checks out with my long cat
Back when I worked in that industry, all the tiddy pics I made definitely had political undertones 😼
A coworker shared their special hummus recipe with me, so I've been having hummus for a week straight... they better not find out about this.
Now that I'm in an age and income bracket that can afford it, I've been trying to be more liberal with donating to causes that seem worthwhile. Yesterday my partner and I were walking around a large cultural event thing in Kiel (Germany) - thousands of people, lots of overpriced food trucks, lots of local bands and artists.
One artist had a workshop in a little glass cube and was making wooden sculptures all day. Huge crowd all around watching him. He had a sign up front explaining that he had been struggling financially because art is a luxury and one of the first things people stop buying when the cost of living goes up. The sign also had a QR link to his Gofundme, so I tossed him 5 bucks with no second thought. Kind of assumed that he'd be getting plenty of little donations like that, just because there were so many people and the event overall was very "12€ avocado toast" coded.
But once I got home I checked the donation history and it turns out I was the only one who donated at all that day:
Ngl, I was kinda upset about that and even checked the Url from different devices to make sure it wasn't a website caching thing. I definitely will be upping my donation once I get home tonight, but in the meantime I'd be curious to learn about the average consensus on donations - How much and under which conditions do you donate (or would donate if you could afford it)? Do you do rare but big donations or small ones spread over lots of causes?
They've started posting a link to ask them anonymous questions a few weeks ago and answering the questions on their whatsapp status. And those questions were getting weird to a point where my partner and I had a betting pool on whether they're shitposts or bullying.
Today I noticed that "sent with ♥️ by team ngl" text at the bottom and downloaded that app to check. And yup, they're just random default questions:
It seems like no one has ever sent a real question. I need to share this to distribute my bewilderment

First shot at vegan baking... it smelled burnt the entire time it was in the oven, somehow?
(infosec.pub)
It's my turn to bring cake to work tomorrow, I found this recipe .
I added some instant coffee but my jar slipped and I probably added too much... now I'm contemplating whether the buttercream might cover it up or whether I'm just baking a second cake and freezing this one for myself
edit:
Yeah, I definitely fucked up with the instant coffee haha
Still edible (especially with the buttercream, it's still a 6/10 cake), but I don't want to bring it to other people.
Made a new one instead, which this one I actually took the time to sift the baking powder and instant coffee so that it doesn't stay in random bitter chunks
i will not elaborate

Beer is safe here in Germany! :D We've got a thing called "Deutsches Reinheitsgebot"/"The German Law of Purity", that prohibits the use of anything but water, barley, hops and yeast in making beer. So the beer itself is always vegan, you just have to watch out for little dumb stuff like the brand Bitburger using Milk-based glue for the labels on their glass beer bottles.
