now more than ever, i believe being part of a community is greatly beneficial for career growth. some steps to do this:
- show up to meetups
- go to conferences
- join a discord server
Behind the scenes of a talk recording:

Friday: kids off from school
Monday: they're off... again?!
The week: (traveling for another conf)
Saturday: 🥱
Sunday: I'll do it tonight
Sunday night: too dark, need lighting
Monday: all I hear is leaf blowers outside...

✌🏽Cheers!
I met @toddl.dev at #magnoliaconf and he is a shining example of why I say meet your heroes. 10 out of 10.
I thought a little more about why I love #magnoliaconf so much in such a short time.

Here's two reasons:

1. It's a chill, welcoming place, where I could be myself right away.

2. I go to conferences for inspiration, and the talks selected are filled with opportunities to find this.
Not even a full day at @magnolia.boo and this is already one of my favorite conferences.

Where else are you going to find @joshuakgoldberg.com dressed as a Tinky-Winky?

Seriously though, the speakers, attendees, organizers, MC... they're all wonderful humans.

This week for @magnolia.boo I'm excited to unveil a new talk, with a special twist for this spooky event.

I've heard wonderful things about MagnoliaConf (formerly MagnoliaJS). Thanks @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social for getting me hyped about it!
Oh, those colors! 🥳
He really is. 😄
😂!

Did you write or talk about the rebrand somewhere? Just curious. 🙂

The answer is YES! 🙌🏽
Netflix is the only subscription our family never takes a break from.

I watch everything my kids watch.

Their favorite shows are the ones that illustrate our differences with kindness & understanding.

This kindness & understanding shows up in how they interact with others.
Rayla has claimed this spot as her own. 🙂‍↕️
Sending love to your whole family. 🧡
It really was perfect. 👏🏽

Dear friends on H1Bs, please be careful about leaving and returning to the USA right now. It could cost you $100k.

I know my country is in debt, but this is a ridiculously shortsighted way to raise funds from tech giants, by holding their employees hostage

Really great folks for sure. 👍

She shared a stellar talk on why rewriting is not the answer but we can instead refactor with AI. 💯

@willkle.in had one of my favorite talks at #CascadiaJS: How to Win Developers and Influence Adoption

Starting with: be helpful ♥️

On my way to #CascadiaJS!

I now live 3,000 miles from my adopted “home” conference, but that doesn’t change a thing.

Who will I see this time? 😊
If this doesn’t hook you, I don’t know what does!

Who will I see at @magnolia.boo next month?
