Someone sent me the "Just JavaScript" course by @danabra.mov. It was a joy revisiting the basics with a well-thought-out mental model that made the learning journey fun. I would recommend this course for anyone picking up JavaScript.

It was great representing @atlassian.bsky.social at the Coders for Causes industry night. Some of the best software engineers I know in Western Australia come from Coders for Causes. Hopefully, we will see them in Atlassian's intern and grad programs soon.

I rounded out this year by teaching the JavaScript and React Module at She Codes Australia. It was amazing to teach such a fantastic group of women and see their projects come to life.

There are so many JavaScript methods that you may only know some of them. Let's look at "every" a JS array method in my new post from my JavaScript series.

We need our biggest polluters to reduce emissions and governments to stop approving new fossil fuel projects. Disappointed in Labor, we voted for progress, but instead, we get told progress is happening while watching them clap through more fossil fuel projects.

I see businesses, communities and individuals doing their part to reduce their emissions daily. However, our biggest polluters and governments are trying to erase these contributions.

I had a lot of fun talking at Spacecubed's Developer Networking evening last night. It was great to hear from Jiaranai Keatnuxsuo and Jeremy Kerr, who were on the panel with me.

Thank you to Tracy Rothery for being a great MC.
