@DThompsonDev @AllThingsOpen Now I know what you're thinking. I @DThompsonDev will be taking the stage to talk about community.

And you'd be right.

I definitely like gambling on special occasions, but not when it comes to hiring!

Fortunately, hiring juniors doesn't have to feel like a dice roll according to @shashiwhocodes if you approach hiring and mentoring juniors the right way!

We talked about this and more backstage at this year's @ThatConference!

It’s done! My laptop is officially covered in stickers💜

All of these stickers actually have a special meaning, so I thought I would tell you about each one:

1. The THAT sticker

This sticker means a lot to me because @ThatConference was the first conference I ever attended (and the BEST conference). I got to attend thanks to @TheClarkSell & @TasonJorres🙏 You guys are amazing!

This was one of the coolest experiences ever. I got to realize how welcoming and kind the tech community is. I also got to make some lifelong friends through THAT💜

2. The Tech Commute sticker

The tech commute was one of the first tech communities I got involved with, and has had a HUGE impact on my life & career. Huge shoutout to @TasonJorres and @arcadejacob for creating such a lovely community!

3. The Azure Triumphs sticker

I got to be the first guest of the season on the Azure Triumphs podcast hosted by @ndteknik! I was so nervous beforehand (this was my first time on a podcast), but ended up having a wonderful experience & it really gave me more confidence to branch out into streaming/hosting spaces. So thank you for that Nikos!

4. The big Pieces sticker + small one

These stickers mean a lot since they really represent my dreams coming true (landing a really cool job in devrel/engineering)💜

I got the small sticker while I was at THAT conference WI, and met the @getpieces team in real life!

5. GitHub Phoenix

It’s just awesome what can I say? Shoutout to @MetzinAround for bringing all the coolest @github stickers to THAT WI! 🙌

6. Francesco 🐳

@FrancescoCiull4 blessed me with this sticker at RenderATL 2024, he was about to go to the airport but he came running back so I could give him a tech commute sticker. I feel honored to get one of these exclusive stickers😆💜

7. Scrimba sticker

@scrimba is one of my all time favorite learning platforms! That’s how I learned react (thanks @bobziroll!)

Also thank you @NotMichaella for the amazing sticker💜

8. Octocat stickers

Besides the Phoenix, I really love the normal GitHub octocat since it reminds me of the time I won an Octocat plushie in a claw machine.

The pop tart rainbow cat is also really cute, I got that one at the GitHub booth at RenderATL💜

9. Wizard sticker

Speaking of @RenderATL we can’t forget the time that @_KaylaSween and @AbbeyPerini dressed up like wizards!! It was SOOO cool, and this sticker is the cutest thing ever. I definitely don’t want to forget this moment😆🙏

10. Blog Recorder sticker

Got this @BlogRecorder sticker from @EddyVinckk at THAT WI 2024, blog recorder has seriously saved me from procrastination & is such an innovative tool. Can’t wait to see what you do next Eddy!

11. The DevOps Guide sticker

This sticker is a reminder of my time at @DevOpsDaysHali 2024! I got to hangout with some awesome people like @hola_soy_milk & @rishabincloud

Speaking of Rishab, he created @devopsguide, which is an open source guide to get started with devops (so definitely check it out!)

Well, that’s it for the stickers. If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading☺️

As you can see there’s still some open space left, I am super excited to collect a few more meaningful stickers and fill it up.💜

What does THAT mean? You!

[Eddy Vinck @EddyVinckk]

I interviewed @iamwix about his first conference talk ever at @ThatConference

[Andrew Israel @andrewnametaken]

Don't overengineer your architecture! It might seem like a good idea at the time, but it'll slow you down as your company grows.

This is from "Architecture and Design Patterns for Fast-Moving Companies" - a talk I gave at @ThatConference - will post the full talk later this week.

The talk I gave last week at @ThatConference is now live on my YouTube channel.

Ever wonder how services like @Netlify and @vercel work behind the curtain? Here's how: https://t.co/8FBT55yzol

Building a selfie wall on my personal site using a beta version of the @cloudinary package for Astro! Pretty good so far!
