Work-related:
- Spoke at a conference for the first time (React.js Conf) [1]
- Released my first serious open-source project (an isomorphic React app server) [2]
- The project I've been building was demoed to some executives and put our team in a really good spot.
Other cool stuff:
- Started buying furniture and accessories to make my room feel like home. I've always been hesitant to own large items because I've moved pretty frequently since I finished high school. Buying a handmade hardwood bed is a big deal for me.

- mercer 12y agoI recently bought my first non-cactus plant, which is a big deal for me since I managed to let two cactii die in the past. It's a bonsai tree (ficus), so it needs extra care. I think taking that step to make your home more 'home' is a very good one, even though it might feel like it doesn't fit your lifestyle. And I suspect the consequences are generally not as big as they feel. Congrats on the fancy bed!
- bsimpson 12y agoThanks! I'm super excited! https://www.etsy.com/listing/190166068/kanso-bed-king-size https://www.etsy.com/listing/190166068/kanso-bed-king-size Good luck with your ficus! We have them planted up and down my street, which means I have a giant one in the window behind my bed. It makes me smile every time I see that tree.
- jhildings 12y agoSo the "isomorphic" refers to that JS on both the client and server?
- bsimpson 12y agoIndeed it does. The concept of Ambidex is you write your app as platform-agnostic JSX, and it will take care of rendering on the server when appropriate and on the client when appropriate.
