I've been absolutely loving watch this series progress and come together. It's so awesome seeing great devs pushing to learn more. Nice work!

😮‍💨 Wheww!

😭 Ok, time for tests! Tests ...

🫣 The question now is: Which tests should I write?

☎️ The React Testing Library docs are calling my name...

@lmacvittie I laughed so hard at this...

[Colin Walker @colin_walker]

@jasonrahm @lmacvittie Could not disagree more deeply. Vim is clearly the evolution step after Emacs. 😉🤣

Yep, there's such a broad set of skills required to do devrel well. Which is challenging and awesome! Such learning opportunities.

Something that people don't really talk about is how DevRel can teach about budgeting.

Confs, travel, swag, resources, marketing, programs, etc

@coreylweathers @LDLockhartJr @okta @auth0 Outstanding!

[Queen Arit #SpicyTechAunty 🔥 @TheQueenArit]

The AMAZING @DiosaZah drove 90 minutes (on a workday!) to meet me at PayPal’s event! We had a wonderful convo about her journey. Excuses be damned, she made that effort! Best believe, she’s top of my list for job referrals when she’s ready!

Position yourself for GREATNESS! 👑🚀

[Colin Walker @colin_walker]

Traveled to SJC yesterday for a couple of days of collaboration with @PayPal teammates, and our second in person @paypaldev meetup tonight at HQ.

Pizza and (optional) beer, talking tech, and growing the community.

Yep, one of my happy places.

@AritDeveloper @PayPal @gregorygorman @Buer_Maze @DiosaZah A great day so far with some hawesome community interaction ahead! What's not to love?

Looking forward to watching you rock the audience with your nocode goodness.

[Colin Walker @colin_walker]

So excited to see the result! Arit's a boss at public speaking and managing audience questions. I'm positive she'll crush it!
