Web development fucked. Design fucked. Freelancing fucked. Content creation fucked. Education fucked Blogging fucked. Dev rel fucked. Hard to find a purpose in this brave new world.

I cannot put into words how overwhelmed (complimentary) I am with your replies, messages and well-wishes. Right now, I am sitting in my garden, it’s warm, there’s a gentle breeze, it’s approaching the golden hour, and I feel truly, inexplicably and so wonderfully free. You, too, can be free. 💜

You’ll miss the soul when it’s gone
Pretty grim day of news in the industry today, with Salma Alam-Naylor stepping away from developer relations work permanently, Josh Comeau taking a sabbatical from making courses and GSAP’s once-vibrant forums descending into a ghost town. The reason your token guzzler “produces” anything that could be described as “good” is because of the years of […]

it needs to start becoming clear that many, many of the best people in the industry are being so affected by the bin fire that ravenous corporations have turned the internet into that they’re leaving it behind it’s bad, and it’s worse without them

For my friends in tech, this is an excellent read. I have pretty similar feelings to Salma. Developer education was great when we were really helping people and building communities, but the entire industry seems to have lost its mind with greed.

This is one of the best posts on dev rel I have ever read. The truth is, it's always existential. I will miss salma's online presence but I am very happy for her.

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma

Goodbye, forever, probably.
I’m leaving developer relations and developer education. Rather than disappear completely unannounced, I wanted to tell you why.

A few weeks ago, I talked about AI and its impact, and the uncertainty it's causing. It was a bit downbeat. I thought it would be a good idea to make something with a bit more of an uplifting message as a follow-up. Of course it hit a new audience and all the haters have shown up in the comments 😅
