4YO: "But first we need to make a list!" Yes, you are definitely my child 🥹

Are we still doing starter packs? Put this one together because I love seeing things that lovely folks write on the internet, and I'm sure there are more people to meet and add to this list. go.bsky.app/AnM2t7r

Do you (or someone you know) write blog posts or newsletters for software developers? Or do you want to? 😁 Join us and tell us about it! 👇

I had an absolutely lovely conversation today with @mooreds.com and @eggyhead-dev.bsky.social ! Excited about this upcoming @overcommitted.dev episode about auth and AI Agents! 👀

I've been thinking about how cool something like this would be. The hallway track is the best part of conferences!

I know I'm a bit behind, but I think I've finally made it to the "I don't think I need to buy bread ever again" stage of my sourdough era.

Who else is headed to #MSIgnite next week, or is catching it online?? I'm very excited to be heading back to SF for this event and to be speaking about @github.com ! I hope to see you there!

We suddenly lost this guy recently and I wanted y'all to know that he was a very good kitty. 😿

if the discussions and calls I've been having lately are any indication, we're about to see significant renewed focus on developer communities. reality is setting in and companies are realizing AI is not a miracle; it's a tool, and tools are only valuable if and when people use them to build things

My four-year-old will eat marshmallows dipped in barbecue sauce but refuses to try a single cooked carrot. Make it make sense.

I go to quite a few tech conferences and it is amazing how different the vibes are when the organizers prioritize diversity in attendees. This thread was a really good read about why that is.

Maybe it's burnout, Maybe it's ✨ seasonal depression ✨

I'm nearly halfway through the book Enshittification and all I want to do is go camping without any technology and touch some grass.

I'll be honest, I'm not even sure who the mayor is of my own city, but I am very invested in this mayoral election 3k miles away from me. 👀

Next book club idea: Writing for Developers Who is in? 👀

Today I communicated with memes, GIFs, and Creed songs, and I've never felt more like a millennial.

Heading over to Fort Mason for #GitHubUniverse!! I'll be talking about the GitHub Copilot coding agent today and I can't wait to see y'all if you're headed there 😁

If I were to take a shot for every billboard on the 30 minute ride from the San Francisco airport to my hotel that mentions AI, I'd probably have to redirect my Lyft to the hospital.

I'm not sure when I'll finally be convinced that I don't actually need to arrive two whole hours early at the PDX airport, but today is not that day.

The #GitHubUniverse prep is intense this week! So excited for next week!! 😍
