Came out of running retirement for 13.1 with my 75 year old mom. All she wanted for her birthday was to run a half with her kids, and she did amazing. First in her age group!

@rstephens.me with the bluey dance party content, and a serious important message about the autonomy we have when it comes to how we choose to show up at work. #monktoberfest

Analyst relations are a perfect example of the reality where you can't just dictate stuff to people. You need to have the relationship built, the interpersonal trust, to advocate for solutions/tech choices/whatever to people. And that's soft skills. #monktoberfest

@gabyberk.bsky.social talking about being awesome, working in tech, even though she is not technical. The value of soft skills. Her first ever conference talk! #monktoberfest

Got my #flu and #Covid #vaccines yesterday, while I still could. Arm is a bit sore and my armpit lymph node is swollen, but I would MUCH rather these side effects than getting super sick this fall.

Science is real, vaccines work and save lives, and RFK jr is a scary ding-dong.
