I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

And I'm so happy that conferences gave me a friend like you, man ❤️ I am genuinely happy to call you one of my best friends in this world, and you need to start hoping more often to this side of the globe (or conferences need to start putting us together more often 😂)

Daniel Afonso @danieljcafonso.bsky.social · 6d

You are the best, Santosh! Really miss hanging out with you man 🫂 Thank you so much for these nice words

Daniel Afonso @danieljcafonso.bsky.social · 6d

I don't say this often here. Still, I'm very grateful for every single person I've had the pleasure of crossing paths with, sharing knowledge and experiences with, working with, or making friends with. Y'all are awesome and make this all worth it ♥️

When you want to do a final dry run of your talk but there is nothing in the hotel room of your height

This image shows a creative DIY standing desk setup using two round black metal tables stacked on top of each other. A open laptop displaying a presentation titled “Plan for Unplanned Work” is placed on the upper table, which rests securely on the legs of the bottom table. The bottom table is directly on a wooden floor next to a grey-upholstered bed. There is a TV remote on the lower table surface. The background features patterned wallpaper with stylized leaves and a white wall shelf containing a green magazine. Curtains hang to the left, partially covering the wall shelf. The scene suggests a makeshift work environment, likely in a hotel or temporary accommodation, adapted for ergonomic laptop use
