🧶 ICYMI #9: August 17, 2019

🧶 ICYMI

Hi friends,

Some weeks just aren't your best, and this was one of those weeks. It feels appropriate that it's a day late. This update will be a shorter one. Like a lot of other people, I struggle with depression. It's a topic I'm excited to tackle on Fullstack Health eventually, but is definitely harder to share about.
 

✏️ Writes

  • The Differing Perspectives on CSS-in-JS, by Chris Coyier.
 

🔨 Projects

  • Lynn Fisher created a really awesome project that explores the design histories and specs of the flags of the United States.
 

💬 Twitter

  • 🧵 @sf_boswell dives into some gymnastics history and details to explain why Simone Biles' successful execution of a triple double in competition is such a huge deal.
  • 🐦 @CatsVsHumanity: How to tell you're an adult.
  • 🐦 @trihex: Japanese Excel user wants to know, why is the "save" icon a vending machine with a beverage dispensed? Warmed my heart.
 

🎧 Podcasts

  • Veni Kunche went on the Egghead podcast to discuss how she got started in tech, the challenges she faced along the way, and how she overcame them.
 

🦄 Random

  • Japanese office chair racing.
 

🌵 Personal

  • It's my pupper's birthday today 🐾.
  • Next week will be better. I'm excited to go to React Rally next week. I'm in need of some re-invigorating energy for this industry.
 

Have a lovely weekend, y'all 💜,

Amberley
