#diversity in tech is bigger than quotas/pipelines. There's a long way to go and no easy answer. It's up to us to help change things for the better.

Premier of #losinglena was brilliant. Great to see @codelikeagirlau driving conversations and action too.

Realising you made a mistake but continuing on and totally owning it. Mad props to @quorralyne for showing us that perfectionism can be beaten (and you will survive)!

@meliss_houghton you had me at open source + IOT + game dev + purple hair 💜

@bendechrai challenges @damovisa to a battle!

Damo anticipates no slides and uses “improv”. It’s somewhat effective!

Ben anticipates losing his voice and uses “automated voiceover”. It’s super effective!

@damovisa showing #NDCMelbourne how to work smarter, not harder… 23GB in 10 seconds!

I love how companies are starting to really focus on end-to-end developer experiences.

Finally back to IRL events! We have come a long way in fostering digital communities.... but nothing beats meeting people face-to-face 🤓 Let me know if you're around today ✌️

A bit different to my usual devrel work but I have really enjoyed working with @HubSpot's team for our app launch this year.

For anyone working in #HubSpot or #marketing this one might be relevant for you.

@coder_bec Oh nice! If you need any help lmk

[Natalie | DevRelMatters @devrelmatters]

@coder_bec OOooh i haven't had a chance to look yet. What are you attempting to learn? 🥸

[Natalie | DevRelMatters @devrelmatters]

Love this from @mcannonbrookes - consider pre recording your presentations to allow attendees to watch in their own time. Then just host the Q&A panel live! Great way to help people get more of their time back in this remote first world.

The support from @VICT4W and the community has been brilliant. COVID & transitioning to remote-first has been a whirlwind for many people both personally and professionally. It's great to see everyone coming together to help one another.

#JavaScript tip for today:
Use proper array methods. Here's a little cheat sheet.

[Emily Kager @EmilyKager]

Hiring rockstar developer!
Must
- work as hard as CEO for 0 equity
- have side projects + green squares
- use dark mode
- 10+ years exp (but don't be old)
- willing to work for less $
- put passion into every LOC and feel like it isn’t a “job”
- product vision, but don't disagree

Don’t steal content inspiration from the competitors in your same industry. Steal content inspiration from the best in a different industry altogether.

Kicking off a virtual session on @github with our #GradGirls with @VICT4W tonight. Thanks to @LeidosInc for facilitating the session

If you write technical articles, please add a publish date to the article. Too many articles contain outdated information & I see people being misinformed because of that.

If you write technicla articles, PLEASE INCLUDE A PUBLISH DATE.

Thank you!

Happy to set up a zoom room where I convince you that giving me your details in exchange for a software key you will never use and a tshirt you will wear to bed is a good deal

@MishManners My fave is when they find you on professional Meetup related group, scrape your email (hint: it's my spam email) and send this:

MAC doesn’t sell cosmetics to preschoolers so why partner with Crayola?

Because acquisition is not always the goal of a partnership

Values and mission-driven partnerships create affinity and relevance for the ultimate halo effect

Love this so much @Crayola + @MACcosmetics_ 🌏
