Thrilled to join the regional board of this amazing organization!

Leadership is not the same as management. At @Shopify, we found that staff developers are eager to learn the same leadership skills that new managers need to develop. It’s all about moving the entire team forward, every discipline.

…and above, I meant I “couldn’t be prouder” of the team.

[Melissa Jones @openclssrm]

Our @ShopifyEng blog team publishes incredible technical content each week. I could be prouder to see it featured in @nytimes today!

[Melissa Jones @openclssrm]

My writers and editors embed with engineering and data teams across the company, keeping a pulse on what’s new, what’s exciting, and what’s blog worthy

This allows us to have a push and pull model for sourcing content rather than waiting for folks to pitch us on topics
