The developer relations pendulum swings again Every so often, opinions about developer relations swing around, and it's my turn to share MY current opinions!

It's time for day 11 of #blogvent!

I wrote about the vibes around developer relations, a bit about what you can do to hire and structure a dev rel org well, and other various opinions 🧠

As half my timeline is currently posting from #reinvent, please allow me to rant about a topic I care deeply about: swag.

Taking a male cut t-shirt, changing nothing about it other than maybe printing a few extra XS sizes, and calling it “unisex” is not, in fact, unisex.

Lately, I have been meeting a lot of skilled creatives,
if there is one thing common across all of them

they all hate operations
hindering them from monetizing their skills

they also hate exchanging freedom for money
again hindering them from monetizing their skills

Business Doesn’t Come with Errors and Tracebacks The Freelance Mindset #2

I wish someone had told me that silence is a signal and that no feedback is feedback. I learned it the hard way.

As Software Engineers, sometimes we are clouded to social signals, which is a huge disadvantage when we enter the business world.

It was particularly fun to write this Coffee Shop metaphor on the disruption that imposed algorithms bring to social conversation.

Ha ha ha! But job calls yk...

Thank you :)

Dirty coffee from thailand

In a world full of Iced lattes with more ice than coffee
Finding "Dirty Coffee" felt like heaven 🤌🏼

As a introverted person myself, Conferences give me an extra dose of energy for sure. The drain will start the days after the conference. Need 2 days to recover

Living the laptop life so that I can do something lively.

Yesterday did a Discovery Scuba Dive

woah woah! The underwater is a magical place. Despite the fact I can't swim or float. I did it.

Thanks to my dive master buddy @sayab.bsky.social for motivating me to do this

I've found ydata profiling to be super useful to get a general understanding of the data.

I haven't tried it for large datasets that can't be in-memory
