It has been a year since Alice's talk and the image of the layer cake of comms has been ingrained and went subconscious that I've been practicing it without realising it now. Such powerful image 🍰
In September, I was in Australia for YOW! Perth and I got to talk about one of my favourite subjects: Trunk-based development and continuous integration. And now you get to watch the talk! The video has been published: https://t.co/J9X9fuvbXW

I’ve unfortunately joined the “I’ve been made redundant” club! It was my final day last week, so now figuring out what’s next for me.
Anyone hiring Engineering Managers? I’m looking for a team where I can manage people (engineers or EMs) and help build an engineering culture!
@tdpauw Someone told me once that showing a slide for only less than a minute distracts people from listening and focuses them on reading instead. But it depends on what's on the slide. If 2 if your slides are front & back covers then that may be ok?

Wow! Laís talked about the 5 year strategies that Nubank used to scale from 1 to 3 countries and beyond and she's definitely the person to go to for advice! #StaffPlusLondon@TheLeadDev
After two startup assimilations @sallyky is the expert in navigating the difficult terrain and the long journey. Her words of advice: Think really hard before you start then expect that it will be hard #StaffPlusLondon@TheLeadDev
@TheLeadDev I was so chuffed to share a real story of the trials and tribulations of a staff engineer to find a lost lesson. The story is just so amazing I feel like everyone should hear it.
When we keep doing the fun work, we may block ourselves and others from growing. Letting go is hard, but many times, it's for the best 💖 @blanquish#StaffPlusLondon@TheLeadDev
@ShettyNy @LEGOEngineering Starting with the anti-pattern makes so much sense! I learned that when joining a new org/team, it's smoother to start with sand, then pebbles, then rocks. Then flip the priorities to focus on rocks and delegate the pebbles and the sand.
It has been great sharing my learnings starting new at @LEGOEngineering as a Principal engineer and navigating through this role and #StaffPlusLondon has been an extremely welcoming place for a speaker ♥️
