Aaaand I was right. Glad I attended, and good to see you!

(I mean, that sounds _just_ like something I’d do, doesn’t it?)

You’ve got this. Looking forward to as much as I can catch of it.

Fairly tempted to razz @waldo.net from the audience in a few minutes here 👀

It always was.

Yesterday I updated my bio as I'm no longer with the #1 🦕-themed javascript company. I'm sad to go but excited to see what's next.

I've spent the last few years designing exclusively in code, building agent skills, working on command-line tools, and crafting dev docs experiences.

Hit me up.

Every time I get mad at a piece of software for being buggy yet refuse to submit any bug reports I have to remind myself that an untold number of people using stuff I built are doing the exact same thing.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Happy Leland Melvin day to all who celebrate. 💚

Absolutely. Similarly, I’d offer you a pep talk or talk in general anytime if it’s helpful for you.

Keep at it. May not feel like it, but we’ve got this. ❤️

May very well take you up on that sometime. Though I may have less of a need on the last item; been there, done that, have the t-shirt. Many, actually.

But I’m glad you’ve found your upsides there!

Yes. Uh, can relate.

They didn’t. Hi. 👋

They’re just not using it.
