Lots of great questions tonight about how leaders can better support remote teams, personal superpowers and growth areas, and overcoming resistance to change #sydtechleaders

Can confirm that conference karaoke is a fun way to network, and as a former Barbershop/Sweet Adelines singer, it would be a great blast from the past to try some tags too! Hayley’s 30 posts in 30 days is going strong, and I’m looking forward to what’s coming up!

Another new thing in the bag for 2024: my first meetup talk “Intro To Glue Work” at the Sydney PHP/Laravel meetup! Thanks to @whereistanya.bsky.social for articulating the original concept so brilliantly, and inspiring me to get out there and (hopefully) do it justice! youtu.be/cc4N2TyXAKI?...

Inspired by @justinjackson.ca’s Laravel starter pack, I’ve thrown together one of Australian Laravel folks! Keep in touch with some local people sharing your affinity for the Laravel framework, between Laracons. Missed people? Let me know! go.bsky.app/NNFmHx1

Had a lovely chat with one my colleagues at our Christmas party about psychological safety, as David Hicking spoke about in his @laracon.au talk “You’re a Problem Solver”. It’s something I haven’t always experienced, and that makes it all the more precious when I work somewhere it is cultivated 🥰

Working on a little starter pack of Laravel Community members who aren't primarily Laravel Developers. If I've missed anyone obvious please let me know! If I added you to the starter pack and you're like "hey screw you I totally am a Laravel dev" also let me know! go.bsky.app/FNCmkUa

My path to dev started as a homeschooler with access to technology, but my interests lay in the arts. My HSC subjects were Music, Drama, Dance, Advanced and Extension English, and a Entertainment Industry Cert I. Most of my major works involved video editing, and I tinkered with GeoCities for fun.

I've been in dev since 2007, and nearly every project I've worked on has been started by someone else, and I've joined later. Somehow I've internalised the concept that ideas, business plans, choice of framework, initial commits - those were things other people did - not me. That's changing now.

At work I create weekly blogs - task checklists, learnings, troubleshooting, code snippets etc. I often find myself referring back to them for reviews and reference, and colleagues who're interested can see them too. It's part of how I model learning in public, asking questions, and being human.

I have an idea to build something. Knowing what I do about myself, I need to manage my time, focus, and task list to do it. I’m a fan of kanban, BuJo, issue tags in commits, and flexible time handling. What do you use to manage yourself/personal software development projects on a small budget?
