We’re holding a new competition in July: sharing the #DevLife and #DesignLife. Tell us your stories, funny anecdotes, short code, or even use images and let us know what goes on in the day-to-day life of a dev and designer. What frustrates you? What makes you laugh? What makes you go “oh… really?”
You can either participate by tagging us on Facebook and Twitter, or replying here.
Just for participating, you could win a special SitePoint t-shirt and swag. There’s a whole bunch of spot prizes, too.
@ralphm - she will find you (via hashtag). If I have room I always @ as well. FYI if you’re going to @ someone at the start of a tweet but you still want others to see it, start it with .@ … did that make sense?
I am going loco with #DesignLife. It’s just so fun/funny/easy.
Twitter thinks if you’re using @ at the start of the tweet you’re replying to that person and it’s part of a conversation thread, so if you want it seen by others who aren’t following both your twitter and the “@” person you’re starting your tweet to, you need to add another character before the @. The easiest way is usually “.@”.
.#DevLife : The reason why so many computer geeks love to play RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons is because they get to complete a task from start to finish without the requirements being changed in between.
Sales Person: Do we have a logo we can send?
Me: See Attached (EPS Logo Attached)
Sales Person: Do we have a PNG? This version is not opening.
Me: As in you cannot open or they cannot open it? EPS files are standard for design.
Sales Person:They don’t have the programing to open the file.
(Would post the actual gif but apparently new users can’t post images??)
You can also use a zero-width space if your use of @ isn’t an actual profile, e.g., CSS @supports. This is a convenient site to apply the zero-space width for you. http://dontatmention.it
