If you believe in equality, but then bully someone because they don't have the same views as you, you m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ are the problem.

We locked in our second keynote speaker for PHP Tek this year, and I couldn't be happier. Not to mention that @tessak22.bsky.social is a PHP Tek Alumn. We have a really strong lineup this year. A lot of great talks. x.com/tessak22/status/1882901431549…

It was a good thing that it didn't work out Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now It's a good thing God closed the door He wanted to give me so much more Than I ever thought I wanted Turns out that he was only getting started And turning all my pain ... into a good thing

Hey folks! This week my role at Adobe was eliminated and I'm looking for next role in developer relations, evangelism, advocacy, etc. If you are hiring, or know someone who is, please reach out. p.s. I promise to not get annoying about these texts, but if you hire me, I'll be able to stop. ;)

I’ve been the primary breadwinner for 9 years now and I’m tired. Like really really really tired. I lost a big client right before a renewal that was giving me space to breathe. Building a business is so hard. Even when all the pieces are in your favor. The pressure is debilitating.

Howdy dev friends! If you're goin to #commityourcode be sure to check out the fun merch from @jacobashley.bsky.social . you can see more of it on his Instant Graham: www.instagram.com/jacobashley.... Jacob is a nice person I met IRL through #100Devs Party on and have fun out there!
It's a composite image of different types of merchandise including little acrylic circles labeled "acrylic hangers!", a sheet with many images on it labeled "vinyl stickers!", four images labeled "screen prints!", and two shirts. One of the shirts is just black and says "coding is fun and the other one is a white shirt that features the image of a sad computer whose screen is its face and it has arms and legs and is wearing shoes, a watch, and a baseball hat and it says coding is fun underneath.

So apparently we were trending yesterday and then there is a story about it! That's pretty cool! I was so busy that I didn't catch this yesterday #CommitYourCode has been amazing and the feedback has truly been incredible! I'm glad it's been worth your time! 🙏🏽 Time for Day 2!
Screenshot of a post about the Commit Your Code Conference, titled 'A Melting Pot of Tech Minds in Dallas.' The text describes the conference's focus on fostering community spirit and includes notable highlights such as talks by Taylor Desseyn and a panel featuring figures like Ossia, Leon Noel, and Danny Thompson. Below, a tweet from Mark Techson mentions Danny Thompson kicking off the conference with opening remarks, accompanied by an image of Danny gesturing passionately on stage.

It isn’t about fair odds, it’s about perseverance with unfair odds. That’s how you build character. We don’t need to “even the playing field.” We need more people working harder to win. The best things in life aren’t handed to you.

As a developer, how much do you care about performance?

Last-minute request: I need a few devs who care about app performance to do an audit for a client. It would need to be done today, though. It takes about an hour to facilitate the #devtool review.
