Whilst I was off I had a lot of time to think about the future of
@codebar.io
, in particular how we stay relevant in tech, as the industry has changed so much since our launch in 2013. Time to reflect and think didn't happen very often, so I'm excited to get my teeth into making it EVEN better!

I'm starting to see lots of posts about International Women's Day on socials but those same companies have told me/codebar recently "working with DE&I focused communities was not a company priority right now". LOL!!!!!!!!!! It's taking every ounce of my being not to comment on these posts!

Do I know anyone who works for a company that may be interested in sponsoring 2 London Marathon spots? We've very amazingly managed to secure 2 spots for the 2026 run, which is amazing!! Your company logo would be on the runners t-shirts and we'll shout about it on all our socials
