This is excellent 🙌 and also something I need to re-read on a regular basis

The normal way of testing is *boring* - good thing Wes is here to talk about property-based testing #DDDPerth

@quorralyne's keynote in a nutshell 😊 #DDDPerth

Is this the most optimal way I could have told you that I wrote a blog post? Who knows 🤷‍♀️ rebeccaplatt.com/2023/05/03/IsT…

5 days left to vote in the People's Choice category for @WITWA's Tech[+] Awards 2022! There are so many nominees this year, you can vote for up to 5 here: witwaawards.awardstage.com/#!/p1 and I'll casually leave the direct link to my entry here: witwaawards.awardstage.com/public/judging… #seeherbeher

@MitchPommers @meacod GitHub pages then?

@meacod @ItsTechBec I think I really should just set something up that is mostly static and sits in a git repo

Oh dear. I have the urge to start a blog

@meacod @MitchPommers Have to say this has all been quite reassuring - most of the googling I did was basically "define your niche", "define your target audience", "SEO optimise everything"... which yes are probably good ideas, but also made it start feeling more like a job rather than writing for fun

@meacod It felt like it'd be a 50/50 between the two 😁 and no shame here! Although I'd definitely be up for reading more video game posts 👀

@MitchPommers They are great for tech specific posts, but yeah not exactly a stamp making place. I'm looking at @substack - I found out about that one because of Dracula Daily, so it definitely seems open to a wider range of content 😃

@meacod @ItsTechBec I need to set my blog up somewhere other than @ThePracticalDev💜 so I can can post other content Like my adventures into stamp making Or making flat single pin locks (and the 10+ hours I spent getting the laser cutter to do chamfers on them for me)

@MitchPommers Exactly! I can definitely understand that struggle, the thought of sticking to one topic sounds somehow stressful... and definitely less fun I think

@ItsTechBec What I'm hearing is that it will focus on things that you find interesting and are doing 🤔 I think that's one of the reasons I've struggled with a blog. I keep trying to focus it on one topic rather than everything I think I should be documenting somewhere for future me.

@MitchPommers Still figuring that part out tbh - brainstorm list is mostly a mix of tech stuff and literary analysis so far. Just whatever I feel like writing really - I've heard blogs are meant to focus on a niche but I want to deep dive into random topics

@ItsTechBec A blog for what?

@ParissAthena Reminded me of this youtube.com/watch?v=8S0FDj…

@meliss_houghton covering everything .NET at #NDCMelbourne

@meacod Thank you!! 😁

A refreshing change of pace at #NDCMelbourne with @ItsTechBec talking about how tech messes up paper documents. Love this vibe, including accessibility shoutouts.

Ux still matters with printed documents. @ItsTechBec #NDCMelbourne

Done during lunch and just on my phone - @auth0 weren't kidding, it really was only a few minutes! #NDCMelbourne #Auth0LoginChallenge.
