Bummed to hear it, and I was really looking forward to speaking at Stir Trek for the first time, but I completely understand. I'll look forward to the chance at speaking next year. Be safe everyone! Much love.

Stir Trek 2020 is cancelled. You already know why, and we are super sad about it.

Stir Trek CFP acceptance emails going out! We had so many amazing submissions, and you all humble us every year with the effort and time you put into your abstracts. Thank you all!

@myotive Maybe your future granddaughter figured out time travel!

Good morning @ohiodevfest! I'm super excited for tomorrow's event. Question: Is there a recommended parking area? Thanks!

Hi friends. I'm looking to pick up #freelance software development work. I am a full-stack #developer with over 10 years of diverse experience. RTs appreciated.

[Jim Kirkbride @jameskbride]

Approved a PR on my day off. My team immediately told me step away from email and slack and just be "off". I have a great team 😃

[Jim Kirkbride @jameskbride]

Surfacing from a project that I've been heads down on for the past few weeks.

@guyroyse I'm a simple man. I see Johnny Cash references in a fun blog post and I retweet.

[Guy Royse @guyroyse]

I blogged about forgotten words and software. https://t.co/rTT33Em5Kv

Just ran into a guy in the stairwell wearing an advanced dungeons and dragons shirt.

I guess you could say it was a random encounter.

HR: "It looks like your timesheet is dated for next month?"
Me: My mistake, let me fix that!
*Nervously checks the date and switches time crystals to a different pocket.*

@guyroyse @jetbrains Intellij Ultimate is pretty nifty. The Elixir plugin works great.

Daughter: Can we watch the first Star Wars movie today?
Me: Which one is the first Star Wars?
Daughter: The one where Darth Vader falls in love with that older girl.
Me: You have failed me for the last time!

[Jim Kirkbride @jameskbride]

@rjo1970 @bladesjester Had conversation about that too. It's one of those things where the team is performing well and we're just tweaking dial at this point.

[Jim Kirkbride @jameskbride]

An actual discussion today.

[Ohio DevFest @ohiodevfest]

The CFP is open! Each year we get a good mix of cloud, web, AI/ML, Mobile, Flutter, Android and everything in between. Last year we had some amazing soft skills talks too. First time speakers welcome.

@butchhoward Leaning this way too. Hard to talk about tree traversal if you don't know about recursion.

[Jim Kirkbride @jameskbride]

Which concept would you teach first; recursion or trees as data structures? #deveducation
