I want to thank the amazing man that put #CYC together @dthompsondev.bsky.social With this being my 1st ever conference I honestly don't know how other conferences will ever top this. Next year I'd like to put it on the record I want to volunteer. Hers a snap I got with The @leonnoel.bsky.social 🙀🙀🙀

Commit Your Code 2025 was amazing. I set 2 goals after CYC 2024: to speak at the conference in 2025 and to talk to more people than I did last year. Mission accomplished! Huge thanks to @dthompsondev.bsky.social, all the volunteers, all the sponsors, and the amazing community. #CYC25 #CYC

so glad @abbeyperini.dev told Richard and me that we should just go to every conference with her 😂 @commityourcode.bsky.social was amazing @dthompsondev.bsky.social is amazing if he winds up doing it again, see y’all next time in Dallas! 🤠

#100devs live at #CYC25 🔥🔥 @dthompsondev.bsky.social @leonnoel.bsky.social

"some scars I'm proud of, others I try to hide with facial hair." This knowledge!=wisdom framing from @dthompsondev.bsky.social is echoing notes I took from @snowded.bsky.social earlier this year linking explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge through narrative #cyc25 #commityourcode

At #CYC25 @dthompsondev.bsky.social dropping value with his keynote talk and fireside chat with the CTO of Yum Brands 🔥 @commityourcode.bsky.social

The #CYC conference keynote was a fantastic kickoff w/ @dthompsondev.bsky.social and Matt McDole. It was fascinating to learn about using AI to create better work environments for employees. And Yum's approach to onboarding engineers w/ AI. #commityourcode

#cyc2025 was actually so much fun! Even though i wasnt able to physically get to Dallas, i feel like i learned so much from the community. Shout out to @dthompsondev.bsky.social and the team responsible for orchestrating all of this. Excited for day 2!

The @commityourcode.bsky.social Pickleball event for Day[0] was a HUGE SUCCESS! We even had a pickleball pro guiding newer players with a group lesson! I guess you could say it was a... Smashing success 😂 pun absolutely intended! Also this shirt by Jake is actually amazing 😂😂😂

Too afraid to talk at a conference? Make Me the Bad Guy! Introducing the new EventConvo conversation prompt cards for #CYC25! Just walk up to someone, say the prompt on your card, and wait for them to say theirs back. THEN you both sign the cards. It really works.

Most “CSS problems” aren’t really CSS problems. They’re organizational ones. - Append-only stylesheets? Missing methodology. - Fragile layouts? No shared structure. CSS doesn’t give you guardrails Methodology and communication do. Be the browser’s mentor, not its micromanager.

I can't wait for y'all to see the new educational content I have coming out! It's a different take on how I explain concepts I was asked why I haven't had much content come out lately. Well, tomorrow morning, you will KNOW EXACTLY WHY I had to pause videos! Some of the biggest news I have shared 🥹

THIS IS A STEAL!!! Besides, you know you want to be there anyway, get your tickets and contribute to a charitable cause!

THIS WEEKEND ONLY IS OUR 9.99 WEEKEND! WHO AM I GOING TO SEE AT CYC?! All In person general tickets this weekend only are $9.99!!! - Meals = Covered - 3 external events = Covered - $49? ❌ Nope $9.99✅ - Still 100% donated to charity Am I finally going to see you in person?!?

No way an episode with 3 goats is silently released this morning! 🔥🐐 open.spotify.com/episode/5oQL... @freecodecamp.bsky.social @quincy.bsky.social @leonnoel.bsky.social @dthompsondev.bsky.social

If you had the chance to give a keynote talk at a tech conference for software developers, What would YOU speak about?

I AM GETTING A LOT of software developers asking about how they can make the most out of going to their very first conference. I don't even mean just juniors either. It's across the board. Many are coming to CYC for their very first conference ever. What advice DO YOU have for them?

120+ speakers. 2 full days. A $700 experience… for $49, and it is all donated to charity! Why? Because income should never be a barrier to your growth in tech. ✅ Every meal covered. ✅ Build your own agenda ✅ Online tickets? Always FREE. We poured our souls into this.

I have worked in enough production codebases at this point to realize that "Clean Code" is used more in social media posts than in actual codebases.

This is the FIRST LOOK at the new badges for The @commityourcode.bsky.social Conference this year! This is an outtake from the video, but I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂 I truly didn't realize this about last year's badges 😂

🚨 The Commit Your Code Conference agenda is LIVE!!!! We packed each day with keynotes, networking, and sessions that you DON'T want to miss! I am incredibly proud of how this agenda page looks and the exceptional content we have lined up. 👀 Take a look www.commityourcode.com/agenda

Told my cat I have deadlines to hit for CYC. He told me belly rubs. He won.

@dthompsondev.bsky.social dropping gems tonight! Definitely hearing similar gems in this virtual call now from The Programming Podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1ccb...

CYC’25 isn’t just talks. It’s community. Virtual tickets are 100% free! Lawrence Lockhart @lawrencedlockhart.bsky.social and Patrick Hulce join 125+ speakers in Dallas, Sept 25–26. Are you rolling in from DFW or flying in? Come see the full lineup here www.commityourcode.com #CommitYourCode

As a software developer, what questions are fun, funny, interesting, technical, or conversation-promoting that one software developer can ask another software developer? I have some examples below but would love to see some really interesting ones.

I believe access changes outcomes. That is why every @commityourcode.bsky.social has a free professional headshot station for anyone who wants one. If headshots have been hard to afford or schedule, we got you! Everyone who wants a photo can get one. Dress for the photo you want!

Shipped the NEW Dallas Software Developers site, and it cleared 100% of automated a11y tests! - No gatekeeping - Free meetups - Real community We will keep this as a newer dev friendly open source project and also adding in more cool stuff! I have more ideas for the site!

A question @dthompsondev.bsky.social raised got me thinking. #React is the #Java of UI. It's so dominant there are plenty of jobs and it's often the default choice for big companies, but it has baggage and might be a relic of a different era What's the UI tech of choice for greenfield in 2025?

HELP! I have a theory that I am trying to prove but I need your help with this. What was the last REALLY GOOD question you were asked? Not the last question, but the last really interesting question that made you actually think "wow that was a good question"?

Many people may not know this, but Figma, as we know it, almost wasn’t possible in the browser. Do you know the tech that made it happen? 🤔⬇️ WebGL. Instead of relying on the CPU like Canvas, WebGL unlocked the GPU, making smooth zooming, panning, and multiplayer design a reality.

Everyone’s still talking about this one 👀 @jasontorres.bsky.social hosted @quincy.bsky.social, @dthompsondev.bsky.social & @leonnoel.bsky.social to break down where the web is headed in 2025 & beyond. If you missed it, catch the replay here →

Y'all coming to hang out in less than an hour? Quincy Larson, Leon Noel, and I walk into a torc live stream... All the makings of a great story!

When I tell you @commityourcode.bsky.social is different, I mean it! This is what I have been working on. My whole idea around tech conferences is just different. This is one of the many things we have been working on. As a software developer, what other cards should I make like this?🤔

At #commityourcode we have: - 125 Talks for $49! - C Suite Leaders and Execs from top companies - Free snacks for days! - Free Meals - Free Water - Free Coffee - Free external events (3) - Free Online streaming - Free indoor mini golf ON THE CONFERENCE FLOOR - Free Headshots

We are a $700 tech conference... that is actually $49, and we donate 100% of all ticket sales to charity! Our whole approach to conferences and the conference experience is just VERY different because our mission is different. 125 Speakers this year! This is YOUR Community!

"Hey what do you do for work?" Oh I code for a living, I'm a software developer. "Oh that's cool. What do you do for fun after work?" Oh... I also code. 😬 I love what I do.

Everyone asks "What is the difference between a VIP ticket and a regular ticket at #CommitYourCode?" My answer? Nothing. I have never liked income being a reason why someone can not have the full experience. The only true difference is just how much you want to donate to charity. That's it.

Saw Commit Your Code Discord channels in 3 different Discords this week 👀 I see y'all! As a reminder: - Virtual tickets are 100% free, and in-person tickets start at $49 - 100% of ALL ticket sales go to charity - 125 speakers - 4 external events ➡️9/25-9/26

If I could give you the answer to a question right now that will help you in life, what would that question be?

The web keeps leveling up. ⚡ Aug 26, 1 PM EST — @jasontorres.bsky.social hosts @quincy.bsky.social , @dthompsondev.bsky.social, and @leonnoel.bsky.social to talk about what’s next for building great websites. RSVP 👉
