Can confirm that conference karaoke is a fun way to network, and as a former Barbershop/Sweet Adelines singer, it would be a great blast from the past to try some tags too!
Hayley’s 30 posts in 30 days is going strong, and I’m looking forward to what’s coming up!

My day 3 post is up! I had so much interest in the singing portion of day 1 that I wanted to follow it up.
So far, these posts are on the longer side, let me know how the length feels to y'all as readers :)

Barbershop is great for conferences? — Hayley Bech
In my first article, people seemed most interested in my singing, so in this post I'll explain what Barbershop is and why it's great for meeting people.

Another new thing in the bag for 2024: my first meetup talk “Intro To Glue Work” at the Sydney PHP/Laravel meetup!
Thanks to @whereistanya.bsky.social for articulating the original concept so brilliantly, and inspiring me to get out there and (hopefully) do it justice!

Inspired by @justinjackson.ca’s Laravel starter pack, I’ve thrown together one of Australian Laravel folks!
Keep in touch with some local people sharing your affinity for the Laravel framework, between Laracons.
Missed people? Let me know!

Had a lovely chat with one my colleagues at our Christmas party about psychological safety, as David Hicking spoke about in his @laracon.au talk “You’re a Problem Solver”.
It’s something I haven’t always experienced, and that makes it all the more precious when I work somewhere it is cultivated 🥰

📚 Completed "Let's Build a SaaS in Laravel" Lessons 1, 2, and 4 (will do 3 later)
🔏 Set up commit signing in GitHub using a GPG Key
✅ Got GitHub Actions working and passing
👩💻 Used git push --force more times than is likely necessary
(🤫 it's only me for now ok? 🫥)

Working on a little starter pack of Laravel Community members who aren't primarily Laravel Developers.
If I've missed anyone obvious please let me know!
If I added you to the starter pack and you're like "hey screw you I totally am a Laravel dev" also let me know!

My path to dev started as a homeschooler with access to technology, but my interests lay in the arts.
My HSC subjects were Music, Drama, Dance, Advanced and Extension English, and a Entertainment Industry Cert I.
Most of my major works involved video editing, and I tinkered with GeoCities for fun.

One of the topics that most frequently emerges, across all of the interviews we’ve conducted, is how rarely there’s a set path laid out at the beginning of someone’s career — and how, despite that, the wayfinding into their eventual success unfolds nonetheless.

I've been in dev since 2007, and nearly every project I've worked on has been started by someone else, and I've joined later.
Somehow I've internalised the concept that ideas, business plans, choice of framework, initial commits - those were things other people did - not me.
That's changing now.

At work I create weekly blogs - task checklists, learnings, troubleshooting, code snippets etc.
I often find myself referring back to them for reviews and reference, and colleagues who're interested can see them too.
It's part of how I model learning in public, asking questions, and being human.

I have an idea to build something. Knowing what I do about myself, I need to manage my time, focus, and task list to do it.
I’m a fan of kanban, BuJo, issue tags in commits, and flexible time handling.
