Rob asked engineers at #LDX3 where their journeys began, and the stories were as delightful as you’d imagine.
Lara? She first learned HTML on Neopets. You could say Neopia was her first bootcamp! 🐱💻

A photo of me standing on stage at the LDX3 conference during my presentation. I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "Autistic. Employed. Taxpayer."
I usually don't love photos of myself, but I quite like this one. #LDX3 #ActuallyAutistic

Myself on stage with a background branded with the LDX3 conference logo in purple. To the left of the stage, there is a screen with live captions. Further to the left and above is a slide from the presentation, showing two people, working on a laptop together. There is a Code Your Future logo in the top right and text in the bottom right reading "We teach people who don't have access to traditional education how to code"
On the left is a LDX3 conference badge for Ali Smith. Showing Natcap / Code Your Future organisations, and Staff Product Engineer / Core Maintainer job titles. Beneath this it says LeadDev speaker. On the right is a box containing 2 iced biscuits. One in the top left says Thank You! with a British flag and a London red bus underneath. Under this is the LDX3 logo. One in the bottom right has the LDX3 logo in the center of a TfL roundel logo.
Reflecting on an incredible experience speaking at @leaddev.com #LDX3 last week! Very grateful to have been accepted.
Enjoyed discussing challenges growing teams in the era of layoffs, and hopeful my talk can provide some ideas! Slides here 👉🏻 speakerdeck.com/alismith/cre...

So many speakers at #LeadDev #LDX3 shared links to look into later, and I've found many more when I started following those up.
This post should be handy for me to keep track of them all, and for anyone else who might like to see if anything grabs them. Enjoy!

This piece was originally commissioned by refactoring.fm, and later picked up by IEEE (career highlight!!), but this is the first time I've published it in full and uncut.
It's also the source material for the talk I gave this week at #LDX3. speakerdeck.com/charity/in-p...

My LDX3 conference badge sitting on a desk, with a tiny bumblebee fidget toy on top of it.
My bumblebee fidget toy next to my water bottle on the armrest of my seat on the plane.
And now it’s time to go home! I had such a great time speaking at #LDX3. I’m amazed at how they were able to pack so much into just two days.
Thanks to everyone who came to my talk or other activities, I really enjoyed meeting all of you!
And a special thanks for the bumblebee fidget! I love him!

When #LDX3 had a talk on why the performance curve (stack ranking) is bad i had to go see how advanced the thinking was. spoiler: not very.. but worthy nevertheless.
Why do employers do this practice that is inefficient and counter-productive? "FOMO" […]

#LDX3 Balancing direction and empowerment by Lara Hogan
In the 2010s, we could focus on the people side of the work
In the recent market, it turns out we had forgotten none of this matters if the business doesn’t succeed
Direction vs Empowerment is a spectrum. Get comfortable with both ends of it

Have been to several #LDX3 sessions focussed on staff engineers. Many feel isolated, but they're also pretty aligned. "lots of miro diagramming to help teams communicate" got the most vigorous nod of consensus from other staff engineers. Once again many spoke of responsibilities that seem likely […]

And if you're here at #LDX3... @hazelweakly.me is giving at talk on engineering force multipliers at 3pm, AND John Doran of Phorest is giving a talk at 3:15 on how to build an observability-driven culture.
(I've seen John's talk, it is KILLER. Highly recommend!!)

Surprisingly anti-work management software, anti-dashboards stance from this speaker from an outsourcing company at #LDX3 this morning. I wonder what the overlap is between LLM agent effective spend tools and employee surveillance tools.

I'm here for day 2 of #LDX3!! I'll be doing a book signing at 2pm (come get one!) and giving the very last talk of the day, on why the best engineering orgs are the ones that build systems where ✨normal engineers✨ can move fast, ship code, delight users, and move the business forward every day.

#LDX3 The sprinter’s leadership mindset by Ugo Anomelechi
Speed is not just running.
Start: You don’t need a perfect start, you need a plan. Timely action is better than perfect
Drive: Build momentum
Transition: Pressure is at peak, protect flow
Finish: breathe to get clarity, push to finish strong
