Let’s talk a bit about a big part of my job today. I currently work at Automattic where I help maintain the Jetpack plugin. I spend most of my day on GitHub, where I guide others as they contribute changes. I spend more time reviewing others’ code than writing my own these days. And that’s okay! I enjoy it a lot. Let me tell you a bit more about my code reviewing process. Let me know what you think about it, and don’t hesitate to share your own experiences and tips in the comments!

My blog posts in English
I’m a fan of The Expanse, and today I’m listening to the soundtrack on a loop. :) Just like the show, the soundtrack really grew on me over time. This track in particular was really nice:
The Jetpack plugin comes with a number of blocks and editor extensions. One of those features extends the existing Media blocks, and adds an option to find and upload images from Google Photos or Pexels:
While this can be super useful when you use Google Photos or need to find free stock photos for your posts, you may sometimes prefer to only see the default “Media Library” option.
I’ve recently had to think about calculating time intervals in a little WordPress plugin of mine, and I thought I would share my findings. Maybe some of you will have some ideas on how to improve things even further :)
It’s been a while since I posted. :) Here is what I’m listening to today, a bit of nostalgia:
Just breathe! :)
Another year ends, that’s time for another summary of the things we’ve watched this year :)

Following the Vendée Globe with the kids
I don’t really follow sports, with the exception of the Vendée Globe. Every four years, a bunch of crazy sailors take part in a solo, non-stop, without assistance, round the world sailing race.
I usually follow the event on my own, but this time around the kids will follow the race with me, learning a thing or two along the way!

Back to school
Everything is a bit different this year, isn’t it?
My oldest started first grade last year, and we were all super excited about it. The first day of school was something we all looked forward to. This year, we’re once again stressed about her first day in school, but for all the wrong reasons.

GitHub notifications: tweaking the redesign
I spend my days on GitHub. One of the screens I use the most is the Notifications area, that got redesigned just a few days ago.
As with every redesign, some people love it, some people hate it. When trying the new interface a few weeks ago, I wasn’t happy with some of the changes. I voiced my feedback to the team and moved back to the old interface. That old interface is now gone, so I’ll have to get used to the new one. That won’t stop me from making a few changes to better fit my workflow, though :)
