It seems I’m looking for a job. I’m a developer advocate with 9 years of experience spanning the whole range of devrel responsibilities from education, community, product, and events. I’m based in Berlin, and ideally looking for a Senior+ IC role or to manage a team.

Also gonna make it more wearable and less “just about staying upright on my pocket”, make font bigger, try and only show my speech and not others around me, etc. But not bad for a couple of hours of work.

Didn't you literally just raise capital and build out the team? Feels like the kind of realization you wanna make before hiring folks. No such thing as a stable job in this climate, but jobs are the source of people's stability and this feels kinda yikes ngl.

Fun fact: in the tunnel between the Piccadilly and Jubilee lines at Green Park the tiling shows how close you are to each line (mostly navy on the Piccadilly end and mostly grey on the Jubilee end). Noticed a few years ago but only just had the time to take some pics.

The idea is that await sleep(NUMBER) will pause a JS script in its tracks for a number of milliseconds (2000ms is 2s). The joke is that the negative number will speed up the site.

I once was accepted to speak at a conference, realised I would have to pay for travel + expenses myself (became unemployed), and politely withdrew before the lineup was published. That's a totally ok thing to do, and I'll get to give that talk when the time is right.

I'm finally in a job where it's so clear to me where the chances for personal and professional growth are, and that I have the people in place to make it happen. It's been a while since the last time I felt this (at

Community and event organizers often write a Code of Conduct, and call it a day, but that's only half the job! You also need to create and train people on an incident response policy. I want to share a starting point for yours - and I call it DIAR. 🧵

For the last few weeks I’ve been working on developing a six-part course for folks at Vonage to learn to code from scratch, and it kicks off today 🎉🎉🎉 Today it’s HTML & CSS, but also covering JS, Node, Databases and using some of our own APIs. I’m pumped!

If you told me at the start of the pandemic that I would be able to run an entire conference from one laptop screen at home, I would struggle to agree. Tooling has come on so far.

A reminder that I'm running a conference in London in January aimed at junior developers and designers. Not a tech conf, but about all the softer skills no one talks about needed for a happy healthy work life.

We're looking for sponsors 💖

I'm wondering if there's scope to run a JS conference which is purposefully aimed at people who are less confident in their JS ability. So there will be 'cool things', but they don't require a load of prior knowledge or experience. Thoughts?

Because everyone is like “what happened” I’ll try and tldr. Last speaker gave a talk and, for whatever reason, decided to shit on a number of other talks and all attendees and speakers involved in Web3 in a pretty personal way.
We would like to make a brief statement.
We had conversations with our closing speaker in preparation for the event and we were not prepared for what happened.

They’re not gendered - they can be pink, yellow, cyan, and green, and this just happened to be pink. I can see why you’d make that assumption based on Amy’s voice but don’t worry I wouldn’t do that 😊

Hey Brits - I’d be careful before you scoff at recent events in the USA because we’re only a couple of steps behind. This is also a super right-wing country with maniacs in power, an electorate that enable them, and a pointless opposition.
