Danny Thompson

From Gas Stations to Billboards in Times Square, who knew code could change a life like this?! 🥹 I am in NYC for Vercel Ship which was made even more special by being able to see my Billboard in Times Square! @topmateHQ has been an amazing platform! Show them some love y'all!

Join the Commit Your Code Community here! discord.gg/9skeTRryT

Every Thursday at 10am Central we do a discord wide call in the Commit Your Code Discord. The Software Developer Power Hour! Answering questions that people want to know the answers to! Career growth, code reviews, and more! Come hang out with 13,000 developers!

Danny Thompson (@dthompsondev) is speaking at RenderATL. He didn’t come up through tech the “normal” way. He was working at gas stations, teaching himself how to code early in the morning before shifts, just trying to figure it out one day at a time. Now he’s a software engineer who’s helped a lot of people get their first opportunity in tech which is usually the hardest part. If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to even begin, you’ll probably relate to this one. Get your ticket: renderatl.com

My husband is out of town for work and told me all his coworkers wanna meet me now. Like idk what he is even saying but they all think they need to know me now Get you a partner that hypes you up to everyone they meet y'all. It's the cutest.

This was the standby line for the Atlassian Forge workshop that our team did at #team26! People want to leverage Forge & Rovo AI to solve enterprise level issues with a solution that truly has the context it needs It was a great experience today! Come say Hi at the Forge booth!

@coffeefiend52 @nostarch 🙌

@nostarch Just got my copy of this book today, can’t wait to read it.

are you a working developer being asked to ship AI features? this is the book. available at nostarch.com, bookshop.org, and bookstores everywhere.

@KatiMichel Thank you so much! It's been such a great learning experience!

Congrats, @DThompsonDev!

I was the head of engineering for Spirit Airlines too! 😮‍💨😂

@RoxanaCodes 🙌

Good news. I met a couple guys that know @DThompsonDev - because duh. 🤣🤣 And I made a friend who recognized me from Devops days Atlanta! 😅 Time to visit with an old college roommate and then fall into bed. 🥰

@hey_amandam Thank you so much Amanda! Please let me know what your think when you read it! 🙌

I love knowing impressive people. Congratulations @DThompsonDev and crew. Been a long time coming and I can't wait to read it

It has already been a very busy day but Partner Accelerate and first team workshop ✅ Atlassian Team '26 is off to an amazing start! Tomorrow more people will show up and it will kick off! #Team26

@YankeeFan4L1F3 🙌 Let me know what you think when you do!

Got a great thing in the mail today and I'm so glad I have the physical book to take to read everywhere! Thank you @DThompsonDev

@blackgirlbytes Funny enough, I did a pair programming session with a junior on our team but it was all around AI prompting, architecture, structure, auditing quality and responses, etc. Still doing it but it has completely shifted in how it goes now.

good point..I forgot pair programming existed..i lowkey never really liked pair programming. i like reading other ppls code..but writing code in front of me ppl always stressed me out.

@RoxanaCodes Thanks!

@DThompsonDev Safe travels!

It is Team week Y'all! Headed to Anaheim for the week! It's Atlassians Flagship Conference Team '26! Our team has 3 workshops this week and booth duty. Going to fun and interesting meeting everyone in the Atlassian ecosystem! If you are there come say Hi at the Forge booth!

@snnajieze Thank you!

@DThompsonDev Sounds like an exciting week in Anaheim. I’ll try to swing by the Forge booth and catch some of the workshop insights. Have a great time connecting with the Atlassian community.
