I always get some funny looks when I visit my Alma mater program and tell physics students the most important think they can do is get involved in leadership and communication skill building activities. True even if they stay working in STEM!
fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.
going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.
if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!
reposts from tech folks appreciated <3
Okay y’all, in honor of my 50th birthday in a few weeks, I’m crowdsourcing a “celebration fund” - $50 for 50 years - to help me get some things out of pawn and pay a few bills.
I’d love it if you can, but if you can’t, if you could amplify this message I’d really appreciate it.

I really enjoyed digging into this topic. The concept from @kball.llc of essentially unlimited demand for software really changes the way you think about the future of software engineering.
Feross and team are the real deal. They are aiming squarely at one of the most painful and dysfunctional parts of modern development, and continue doing great work to help developers deal with it.
