Just finished #NDCToronto. A conference that has technical depth but also dwells on the humanity of being a programmer, and gives us a lot to think about. Thank you @mikedaum.bsky.social and @gregcons.bsky.social for convening an excellent couple of days. @ndcconferences.com

As many of you know, I have set myself a mission in 2025 to try and raise £50,000 for education-related charities that are equipping young people as they navigate those tricky years into adult life and work. Thank you for all the support so far! - all details at www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

The Bloomberg Terminal, believe it or not, is based on web technology 🌐 This deep-dive talk by @jason-williams.co.uk & @pcwilliams.net reveals what that looks like in terms of Chromium embedding. It explains how we keep it blazing fast, including by adding a new Web Perf API: Container Timing 🔥

After almost six years (eight if you include my stint at GT) 162 race weekends and over 240 events, tomorrow marks my final day with McLaren.

After seeing @was.tl's great talk at @cppnorth.bsky.social, I was inspired to try Advent of Code for the first time. Puzzles can be fun when you're not in a job interview! I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

I ❤️ @bigchangecharity.bsky.social - the impact accelerator I have been supporting for nearly 10 years, working to see education prepare young people for life, not just exams.

One of the best things about going to Producer Camp and then making an album with some young people was getting to know Katie May, head engineer at Real World Studios.

If you're new to Bluesky and/or web performance, the wonderful @sia.codes has created an excellent starter pack of front-end #webperf folks to follow. bsky.app/starter-pack...

How cool is this: this is from the Bluesky firehose! What's so cool about this is: 1. The throwback style 2. That *any* dev can do this! Thanks to there being an API for this (no other social network allows this AFAIK) This API is a big reason to be bullish on Bluesky firehose3d.theo.io

For many years, I have been working within Bloomberg and with non-profit organizations such as #Stemettes to help women find pathways and leadership in #STEM careers. So when I attend a conference where every talk is keynote-quality, to see this speaker line-up is so encouraging. #PerfNow

Just discovering User Lists in @bsky.app … hoping to keep my feed here less frantic than the other place - seems you don’t have to follow people in your Lists, so you can easily separate tech, cat pictures and politics for when the mood takes you.

Having seen Harry (@csswizardry.com) speak so well at #PerfNow last week, I imagine this will be great!

Oh that was easy. Thank you @bsky.app for guiding me through a simple DNS record change and now I am @pcwilliams.net on here 🙂

So great to catch up with @jodiechan.bsky.social too at #PerfNow and discover her musical talents alongside her tech skills! I’ve always loved the music/tech crossover and it has been so good to hear Jodie’s music, under her artist name Joya.

After our talk at #PerfNow, a few people asked me if I kept the interest in music going - yes! In fact last year I collaborated with some young people to make an album at #RealWorldStudios, with all proceeds going to education projects supported by #BigChange. pcwilliams.design/cloudsurfing...

Thank you so much to the team at @perfnow.bsky.social for making us feel so welcome and giving us @bloomberglp.bsky.social folks such a warm reception. And thank you to @anniesullie.bsky.social, head of Core Web Vitals at Google for the shout-out - that means a lot to us. #PerfNow

Today @jasew.bsky.social and I tell the story of how our team embedded web technology to give us the best combination of real-time data and rich UI for the #BloombergTerminal. It is an honour to speak at @perfnow.bsky.social. The #PerfNow team have been so welcoming. perfnow.nl/speakers#paulw
