If you believe in equality, but then bully someone because they don't have the same views as you, you m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ are the problem.

“Lord, may I only be anxious with you and you alone. Amen.” 🙏

It was a good thing that it didn't work out Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now It's a good thing God closed the door He wanted to give me so much more Than I ever thought I wanted Turns out that he was only getting started And turning all my pain ... into a good thing

Being uncool is actually cool.

“You need a new idol. I hear Jesus is available.”

I'm absolute freezing this morning and my office is 71. 😬

My kids have Flu A. I’m so scared. They won’t even eat. 😳

Hugs to those living in India, working US timezones. Two meetings like that today and they are the true hustlers. That has to be so hard.

Hey folks! This week my role at Adobe was eliminated and I'm looking for next role in developer relations, evangelism, advocacy, etc. If you are hiring, or know someone who is, please reach out. p.s. I promise to not get annoying about these texts, but if you hire me, I'll be able to stop. ;)

I'm kicking off a livestream starting next week where I'll interview developers about their day-to-day challenges. I want my coding chops back and this is the best way to learn whats changed, plus I can help devs shine across my vast network. Wanna join? experience.jrney.dev/99devproblems

What’s your favorite developer newsletter?

I snagged a few of folks speaking but iPhone 6 photos are not the greatest at that. lol But my selfies with @tessak22.bsky.social and @devchicajas.bsky.social came out lovely! ❤️

I’ve been the primary breadwinner for 9 years now and I’m tired. Like really really really tired. I lost a big client right before a renewal that was giving me space to breathe. Building a business is so hard. Even when all the pieces are in your favor. The pressure is debilitating.

IF YOU WERE AT COMMIT YOUR CODE Can you please drop your photos here? Would love to have a thread of some of the memories y'all made over here at #CommitYourCode!

@dthompsondev.bsky.social's #CommitYourCode conf was incredible. Wonderful and inspiring talks from folks like @aaronfrancis.com, @tessak22.bsky.social, @tdesseyn.bsky.social, and so many more. Will be sharing reflections on the experience over the coming days. 💙

I'd forgotten how dangerously inspirational conferences can be. #CommitYourCode

Howdy dev friends! If you're goin to #commityourcode be sure to check out the fun merch from @jacobashley.bsky.social . you can see more of it on his Instant Graham: www.instagram.com/jacobashley.... Jacob is a nice person I met IRL through #100Devs Party on and have fun out there!

So apparently we were trending yesterday and then there is a story about it! That's pretty cool! I was so busy that I didn't catch this yesterday #CommitYourCode has been amazing and the feedback has truly been incredible! I'm glad it's been worth your time! 🙏🏽 Time for Day 2!

Listening to @tessak22.bsky.social’s Building What Developers Actually Want: Lessons Learned 🙌 #CommitYourCode

I have never used tailwind but @braydoncoyer.dev definitely made it exciting with the updates in v4!! #CommitYourCode Conference

Love listening to THE @tessak22.bsky.social !! #CommitYourCode

I’m giving away five free avatars for #GivingTuesday! Comment and share to enter the giveaway 🙂 I encourage you to find a good cause and give!

Oh shoot. My biz coach is on here now. He’s going to see me rant about topics I shouldn’t. 🤫

The most relatable slide in my talk for #CommitYourCodeConference

It isn’t about fair odds, it’s about perseverance with unfair odds. That’s how you build character. We don’t need to “even the playing field.” We need more people working harder to win. The best things in life aren’t handed to you.

The best day of my life happened 18 years ago today. Don’t listen to those telling you to skip building a family. They’re keeping you from the best thing I’ve ever experienced—a happy, chaotic life with my bestest friend and our amazing children.

As a developer, how much do you care about performance?

Last-minute request: I need a few devs who care about app performance to do an audit for a client. It would need to be done today, though. It takes about an hour to facilitate the #devtool review.

If anyone is doing on-prem #MLops deployments or robotics use cases requiring reproducibility, I'd love to chat!

Build precise developer audiences with this comprehensive framework. Learn how to understand, target, and engage developers effectively. hub.builtfor.dev/home/blogs/e...

Built for Devs helps devs get their #devtool adopted by devs. That's not a mouthful or anything.

If you're doing it or intrigued by #devtools, #AI, #ML, #DevRel, and everything in between, you should join!

Doing some AI/ML #DevRel live today. Come hang out! hub.builtfor.dev/home/events/...

We had a lot of fun talking about Arcjet and how great the developer experience is. If you use next.js or any modern JS frameworks, you should give Arcjet a look. 👀 66% reduced infrastructure cost on a devs Vercel bill was a compelling testimony. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp31...
