The Art of Technical Speaking: How I Went From Code Reviewer to Conference Speaker
It’s not about what you know. It’s about how you share it. Here’s the story of how I learned that lesson.
How did I went from reviewer to #speaker?
After saying “yes” to my first live #talk, it was a piece of advice from @nicolasgrekas.bsky.social, that swept away the illegitimacy I felt. I have passed on this advice, whenever I could.

I talked about some of the cool things we’re doing with the Messenger component at Vacatia, including nested messages and message chains.

A Composer conflict declaration could protect against that… but I’m not sure we want to go down that road.

Or, imagine an optional interface introducing a breaking change (e.g. a 2.0 release). All of the classes out there that implement it optionally would break.

I get what it’s trying to solve, but what if the class implements the optional interface incorrectly? If it’s not installed, no error. If it is installed… error?

My wife died almost 12 years ago and I still have vivid dreams of her becoming alive again. Does anyone else experience that, with people they’ve lost? #widower #grief

I've been too doomer-y lately, need to balance it out a bit.
Did you know Brian Jacques was 47 when he wrote his first novel?
47.
And he wrote 22 more beloved and acclaimed children's novels before he passed.
There are admittedly some dreams you can age out of but creativity isn't one. Go for it
