@iamKierraD Wow I really relate to this. Been working my way back to my old reading velocity but will also be adopting some of these exercises you listed here. Appreciate you saying this fr

ℹ️tip: when you're not sure about your AI's answer, simply ask it "whats your confidence level in that answer?"

Mine just responded "My confidence level is medium-high (70-75%) for the following reasons:" - which then gave me the exact areas where it didn't have enough context

Given the current market, I've been thinking a lot about the next generation of builders. They're AI-native but may not have professional experience yet. They just need someone to take a chance on them.

Here's that opportunity: Block Builder Fellowship

@bytesofbree Happy Birthday Bree!! 🎈🎉

[Zrybea Whitfield @zwhitfielddev]

Also it’s insane that D’Angelo, Questlove, Pino Palladino, and John Mayor are all in this one shot. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to!

[Zrybea Whitfield @zwhitfielddev]

I don’t like to record at concerts but managed to find this single clip of D’Angelo performing in 2016 at the Roots Picnic. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it 🕊️

@ThugDebugger @RenderATL This would be sick

@LawrenceDCodes We used to be a proper country where fighting Nazis and KKK in videos games was not controversial 😑

Congrats to RC alum Waskar Paulino for being named one of @Technical_ly's RealList Innovators in Philly: https://t.co/cwNAkloeNz We’re so proud of him, and grateful for all the ways he continues to champion underrepresented voices in tech!

@DThompsonDev Couldn’t make it shake this year but the fomo is real. Will definitely be at CYC26!

[Zrybea Whitfield @zwhitfielddev]

@nnennahacks @blackgirlbytes Want to be like you guys when I grow up!

[Zrybea Whitfield @zwhitfielddev]

@bytesofbree Bree I need this workshop! I won’t be there but maybe I’ll catch your session with the virtual pass 🥹

[Bree @bytesofbree]

Stop asking ambitious women how their spouses or partners feel about their goals. I don’t need approval to dream big and accomplish what I put my mind to.

Great talks at #CTRLALTPHILLY

@TechSquidTV , @hey_amandam, and Michael smashed it

@zwhitfielddev Awesome!! This one has your name on it.

[Danny Thompson @DThompsonDev]

We just received a very generous donation of tickets to CYC for those who are laid off, students, or can't afford to go.

If that's you, there's no need to mention it publicly here. Feel free to DM me, and I can arrange a ticket for you. No one else will know about your free ticket except you and me, not even the registration booth. Your meals will be covered for both days as well. If you can get to the conference venue, we've got you covered!

[🎃 MagnoliaConf 👻 @magnoliaconf]

CFP for Magnolia Conf 2025 is now open! submit your talk by August 15(ish)!

if you're part of an underrepresented group in tech, we especially want to hear from you!
