Moved out of my family home
I wish someone warned me how emotionally hard it is to move out of your parents home.

Disabled my #NoPreviewHtmlCss Twitter bot
#NoPreviewHtmlCss was a developer challenge I created where you create something using HTML and CSS, but you're not allowed to see the preview until you're done. This challenge really makes you think about what you're writing. The challenge was popular in the summer of 2020 but lost its popularity, also I got feedback it made people anxious. π¬
Nothing lasts forever, so today is the last day of this #NoPreviewHtmlCss bot.@jackdomleo7 has decided to drop this challenge due to understandably unpopularity, and cost to promote and maintain. π
