love when my community get stoked about their wins and reach out to me 🙏🙏

mannnnnn really appreciate the @torcdotdev community. workshopped my final iteration of my talk tomorrow for @allthingsopen lol THANKS FRIENDS

showing up to meetups is just like working out. it's a muscle and you have to practice. if you feel like you suck at navigating large conferences start investing in local meetups.

you are google-able. hiring managers google you. let your content speak for itself.

oh 100% lol

Episode 474 - From Layoff to Job in 19 days w/ Sr. Engineer Michael Eaton Guidance Counselor 2.0 · Episode

laid off to job in 19 days? it still happens. check out my recent convo with @mjeaton on his latest job search as a senior engineer

if you're trying to slide into someones dm's on the job search here is my personal approach that has worked getting strangers onto my podcast:

- mention something that person has done/posted/invovled with (shows you are paying attention)
-be specific in the ask
- keep the message to 3-5 sentences

ive been super blessed to emcee @kentcdodds #epicwebdevconf this past year as well as @renderatl

just sat behind a drum set for the first time in 10 years. anyone in nashville have a set i could jam on soon? 😂😂

this maybe a hot take but if i hear someone is good “at marketing” and ive never heard of them or the company they work for then i dont think they are good at marketing.
