I’ve heard from a few people today about the layoffs at Mapbox. Sad, sad day.

If you are actively hiring software engineers, please respond to this tweet and give affected people a sense of why it might be a fit for their skills and interesests.

Thrilled to join the team at @SSPInnovations! We had a great #IMGIS conference and Product Advisory Group meeting this week in Palm Springs.

Being in the red part isn't fun, but I'm just glad I'm not in the white part.

ArcGIS Notebooks now come with a bunch of @Esri-curated code snippets!
These are huge time-savers - you just add them into a new cell. Common functions for working with data, converting between formats, etc. Love it!

I am so, so proud of @NicoleGramsH, who's been an invaluable resource, mentor, and friend to me as a fellow solution engineer. @EsriSLGov will miss her, but @EsriFederalGovt is gaining a powerhouse!

Schedule an in-person 1-on-1 visit with an #Esri expert at #EsriUC for an architecture review, workflow diagramming, discuss workforce development/change management/geospatial strategy, or brainstorm a solution

I'm used to having nightmares where I'm back in high school and realize I missed a final.

Last night, I had a nightmare where I was at #EsriUC and realized I missed a session I was supposed to present
