I haven’t done one of these since 2021, so it felt good to reflect on how my DevRel/Community bet took off, and how much has changed since then. Best decision ever. Thank you for watching 💜 youtu.be/REQmNVbAKoY?...

Today is my final day at ▲ Vercel. I joined for the product, but I’ll leave most grateful for the people: the team I got to build with, the community I got to serve, and everyone who made this chapter feel so special. pawlean.com/posts/vercel

Who wants to read a blog post?

Some news tomorrow.

Okay I’m a bit anxious about this now, but we move

Big week ahead

I’ll say it once again: who your manager is matters. It a reason you’ll feel recognised, inspired to do better, even get promoted or get that pay rise. I always think about this when I find myself having to back up my people. Now that I have the chance to, I will!
