Big news! 📚 We just finished a major documentation overhaul! Our docs went from 180 pages to 103 - smaller, more accurate, and easier to trust. And the best part? Nothing about the tools you use has changed! ✨ #DevCommunity #Documentation

What is the best event format you have attended as a builder?

What is the best event format you have attended as a builder?

If you run events for builders, give people time and the right people in the room. It is usually a better use of their evening than a stage.

Third, the best conversations at events are rarely the scheduled ones. They happen when someone is stuck and the right person happens to be standing nearby. So I tried to engineer that on purpose.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 09/10/2026

Stuck on something technical, grab an engineer. Working through launch strategy, grab me. Questions about the programme, grab my colleague. Naming the person to ask removes the hesitation around asking.

Second, "ask us anything" is vague. People do not know who to approach or what they are allowed to ask. So we told them plainly:

First, curated demos turn an event into a content session. Founders sit politely, wait for their turn, and leave having made no progress.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 09/10/2026

The format was three hours. Welcome drinks, a short orientation, then open build time where founders worked on their own products while engineers and go-to-market people circulated. I designed it that way for a few reasons.

My pleasure! Sorry it took so long for me to have the capacity.

Community is not a cost centre. It is the cheapest product research a company can run. What is the most useful signal you have found that nobody else in your company was looking at?

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 08/10/2026

The business case follows. Fewer repeat tickets means lower support cost. Developers who feel looked after stay, and the ones who stay tell other developers.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 08/10/2026

Then comes the step most people skip: check whether the question stops appearing. If the same one keeps coming back, the answer was never the problem.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 08/10/2026

I am a Community Engineer at Deepgram, and the job looks more like engineering than events: - Pull issues from every platform into one place - Work out who is asking - Group questions into themes - Send them to whoever can fix the cause

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 08/10/2026

Every question in Discord, every GitHub issue and every Reddit thread shows where your product, docs or onboarding creates friction. Answering it fixes one person's problem. Routing it fixes everyone's.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 08/10/2026

Most companies treat community as a support queue with better branding. I think that is backwards. A developer community is a feedback loop, and most teams throw the signal away. Thread:

As a general rule of thumb, assume that any file anyone sends you is a virus. Do your due diligence before downloading and running/opening it. "But Naomi, my friends/family/partner would never send me malware." Sure, but your friends/family/partner's *compromised account* could. Be smart about it.

From a technical standpoint, unless you have a zero-day retention policy, a BAA/DPA, or another agreement that precludes your data from being retained and consumed by the model provider... anything you send to an LLM is effectively now public data. Obligatory I am not a lawyer, but she's spot on ⬇️

I'm a transfem engineer who works in the (voice) AI space - it is absolutely not transphobic to be against LLMs.

Naomi Carrigan @naomi.lgbt · 28/09/2026

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only. My parents told me I either needed to get a job or go to college. I chose to become a girl.

Why would they do that when they could pay someone peanuts to do it for them.

I'm swinging from the rafters Of a burning mental cage The static in the signal Is a monochromatic rage Give me chaos give me contact Give me something I can feel Cause the office and the pay cheque Are the only things not real

Check my pulse check my head Check the shadows on the wall Pacing in a circle waiting For the world to fall They say take a deep breath They say go and take a pill But if the world is moving fast Then I'm never standing still

The concept of "passing" is harmful to many people. Trans rights are for all of us.

Do I get an exemption if I only mention it when someone asks and only to say I don't remember because that was twenty years ago?

If you bring a beverage to a job interview with me it will make literally no difference because that has no bearing whatsoever on your ability to engineer software.
