I met @toddl.dev at #magnoliaconf and he is a shining example of why I say meet your heroes. 10 out of 10.

Not even a full day at @magnolia.boo and this is already one of my favorite conferences.

Where else are you going to find @joshuakgoldberg.com dressed as a Tinky-Winky?

Seriously though, the speakers, attendees, organizers, MC... they're all wonderful humans.

This week for @magnolia.boo I'm excited to unveil a new talk, with a special twist for this spooky event.

I've heard wonderful things about MagnoliaConf (formerly MagnoliaJS). Thanks @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social for getting me hyped about it!

Rayla has claimed this spot as her own. 🙂‍↕️

“This had been the most exciting thing in my career because I can actually maintain an application and not let the tech debt pile up”

@brittanyellich.com on using GitHub Copilot at #CascadiaJS

She shared a stellar talk on why rewriting is not the answer but we can instead refactor with AI. 💯

On my way to #CascadiaJS!

I now live 3,000 miles from my adopted “home” conference, but that doesn’t change a thing.

Who will I see this time? 😊

I am having a wild year and there’s one person that makes it all possible and worthwhile for me.

I hope y’all get to meet her sometime. She’s the kind of person that makes the world around her brighter every day.

Playing with dev tools, buying domains, and building a new website for developers...

This is my kind of Saturday morning. 😎

Also making my MacBook Air sweat, but it's so portable and perfect for these couch sessions.

📣 Web browser pro-tip:

CMD+Shift+A on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows

This is the search menu for tabs you have open. It also lists the most recent tabs you visited in order.

I started using this similar to CMD+Tab on Mac (switch applications) to bounce between tabs. 🪄

In the aftermath of return to office there are still places that embrace our individual needs and trust us to do our best work.

Imagine looking up and being reminded why you work your hardest.

@tdesseyn.bsky.social @douges.dev we're on to another elimination game tonight after this game winner yesterday. 😎
April 29, 2025 at 12:37 AM
What's the latest?

In our first elimination game, we started off 2-1 in the 1st period, but picked up from there and finished 7-1 to win. After I got shutout last game I chased down a long breakout pass for my first goal of the playoffs. Bar down!

Excited to start my next role in 2 weeks... 🙌

Channeled that into a new project last night that I've had on my backlog for years: something to track and measure my mental clutter with work I have open.

Also leaning into AI more than I usually do.

Enjoying the city ahead of #ReactParis.

I’ll be available this evening if anyone is looking to make friends!

The calm before the storm.

This room would soon fill up for my surprise talk on design systems at #ReactDayBerlin.

I brought the chaos energy and went way over time while skipping half my content 🤣.

And I am so thankful to everyone that welcomed me, listened, and found me after w/ questions. 🙇🏽

Good morning Berlin.

After 17 hours of travel, 32 hours awake, and 22,000 steps, last night I was welcomed by the amazing Tejas.

It wasn’t long before our laptops were out and he got me to build something. 😅

I slept so well.

Round Two of Conquering Jet Lag Like A Boss.

Spain was a struggle two weeks ago… because I adjusted then worked late every night. 😅

This time in Germany, let’s see if I’ve learned anything!

A week in Spain for a conference (and working nearly nonstop) versus the very intentional recovery.

This is not a brag; this is not healthy or sustainable. But it’s reality for me and something I am evaluating and improving.

Málaga is a beautiful & walkable place.

I have been walking everywhere, exploring and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere.
November 27, 2024 at 1:35 PM
My first workshop of the conference, on testing strategies & practices for a better developer experience.

Tomorrow I have a design systems talk, and Friday another workshop on building your own JavaScript tools.

This conference is shaping up to be amazing!

Woke up this morning and walked to the beach in Málaga.

Tomorrow it’s a conference.

As I Twitter DM with some folks to share bsky invites, Twitter is hitting me on rate limits I think.

And the folks using my invites to sign up on Bluesky are not able to, there's so much new traffic!

The migration has accelerated.

What’s up?

I’ve been chilling with my family a lot and thinking about what’s next. ✌🏽
