Can't wait!

Put your hand up if you’re a women in tech and you’ve had this conversation at some point in your career. Lemme tell you it don’t feel good OR believable if your friends tell you they know YOU’RE a good programmer but they don’t want to see more “diversity hires”.

Last week I attended @TechLeadLadies hybrid event where @shelleglee did an amazing talk on challenges faced and actions we can take to increase the number of women in tech leadership roles- I wanted more succinct notes but the talk was so good didn’t want to leave things out!

@evanderkoogh I see a talk brewing

Over the past few weeks I have done a lot of reflecting on the last few years of writing serverless applications and thinking about where it should go. And I have come to the realisation that one of our biggest mistakes has been to call it Function as a Service..

2. Be your biggest advocate. Do not depend on others to notice you're doing a good job. You show then TELL them you're killing it! Unfortunately, modesty and humility work against us. Don't be arrogant, but do be confident.

Love this tip! ♥️ Building a great culture is intentional and full of regular small actions like this.

Noticing another increase in the number of folks looking to increase the diversity of their tech teams. Here's a view from @TechLeadLadies of what your candidates see: techleadingladies.com/2021/12/15/spo…

A big thank you to @Fastmail for partnering with us to bridge the gender gap in tech leadership. Fastmail has generously provided the organising team with their fantastic email services 🙏

So 2 weeks ago, world-famous @lofigirl's streams were taken down due to a spurious copyright claim. The claims were revoked and the streams restarted, but the old streams were archived, creating the two longest videos on @YouTube at-present, each more than 20 thousands hours long

It feels like everyone knows everything you know but in reality we are all the expert on something ☺️

Aim for calm and order, keep whatever stability you can.

@pixelated4u So many! Autumn rides through the mountains as the air gets crisp and the leaves are falling. Rides along the beach on Spring mornings when it's sunny. Riding across the salt flats in blazing sun. Track days with the girls. That first overnight trip away. Enjoy the riding!

So instead of hearing about everyone’s motorcycle injuries…tell me about an awesome time you had on your bike!

@nye_nicola Sooooo good! And so much variety to suit whatever the mood is. And if you need an extra strong dose, add some camping in.

@nye_nicola Hiking! (Might be a beach walk, might be a river trail ramble, might be a mountain hike) Might be solo, might be with some buddies.

@mishmashtan I was warming my hands on my macbook last night! Zoom meetings get it nice and toasty!

Hugging overheating devices because you’re cold, it’s not a bug it’s a feature, hidden functionality: hand warming
