Track Record 2025
2025 was not a year of dramatic twists and turns for me; it was more of a continuation of 2024. It was somewhat the year of doubt. Even though I adjusted my path to better align with my aspirations, my mood is struggling to recover. I have new resolutions to test.
Developer, gardener, which one is it again?
Hi folks! My name is Marine, and I have a problem: I struggle with allocating my life time to all the things I like to do, because I like very different things. Unless… I like these things because they’re not that different? For instance, my official job is “senior software engineer” — which basically means I’ve been building web apps for a while. But I also like to sit behind my window and watching birds in my garden — which implies birds visit my garden. At first glance, these activities are entirely different. However, I’ve been doing both for years, and I can tell they’re just the indoor version and outdoor version of the same kind of endless work.

Week 19 - The road to v2 for ember-scroll-modifiers
#web #emberjs #open_source #ember_scroll_modifiers #addon_v2 #migration_steps #guides
This week, I had two workdays allocated to the Initiative. I am thrilled to say that they’ve been well used, but I wish I could have more time to tackle a bigger scope. Fortunately, there is a type of task that perfectly fits ~2 or ~3 days, and this is the conversion of a community addon to v2 format.

Week 18 - Concatenating small things

The Ember Initiative needs more members so we can spend more time on it 🙏 Since my re-assignment, I could spend a bit more than 2 days working on the Initiative, and this time allowed me to do a few first things for the community. But to organize and tackle important topics like the new Route manager API, we need to invest a time that we don’t have just yet. Mainmatter new plans make it easier for small companies to get onboard.
The Ember Initiative Journey 🐹❤️ Big Break
In mid-July, after week 17, I had to stop the Ember Initiative because I was needed on a different project at Mainmatter. It was a bit sad for me to stop when we were so close to releasing Vite support for the inspector. But this is how it is, and now I am back on the Ember Initiative! 🎉

New backers for the Ember Initiative #
We’ve got new sponsorships for the Ember Initiative! 🎉 This means we have enough budget to work until September. This should be enough time to finish the Inspector’s compatibility piece and unblock Vite users. If possible, we will have started the next topic by this time.
