I was grateful to be asked to give two talks at #developerweek around #devex. Below are the slides for the second talk on some ways to champion DevEx in your organization.

From DevEx Disaster to Delight: How to Champion a DevEx Revolution in Your Organization by Jeremy Meiss
Is your team drowning in a sea of bugs, clunky tools, and morale-sapping processes? Are you tired of hearing them utter phrases like “I hate this deployment process” and “This codebase is a crime against humanity”? Well, fret no more! This talk will be your guide to transforming your organization’s Developer Experience (DevEx) from a disaster zone to a developer utopia. We’ll delve into the what, why, and how of DevEx, exploring practical strategies you can implement to make your developers’ lives easier and more productive. We’ll cover everything from tooling and automation to fostering a culture of collaboration and feedback. By the end of this talk, you’ll be armed with the knowledge and practical tips to become a DevEx champion in your organization, all while avoiding the wrath of your CTO (hopefully). So buckle up, grab your favorite stress ball (you might need it), and get ready to learn how to turn your developer frowns upside down!

Thank you to those who were part of the packed room for my "Why #devex matters" talk at #developerweek. I had a great time reminiscing with you on where we've come, and where we can go in creating a good #developerexperience.

Here are the slides […]

After 30 years in tech, my experience has been that efforts to abstract away toil tend to simplify it into something that "easily" replaces X thing, which becomes the new hotness, and we lose sight of why that toil existed to begin with. Then the new hotness becomes the new toil. Rinse. Repeat.

Companies who force their employees to reset their passwords every X number of days actively contribute to insecure systems and supply chain.

I have a good friend who is back on the job market, and they're looking for their next remote role. They have a long, successful history in #opensource, #community, Events Mgmt, Technical Prog Mgmt, and #devrel & Advocacy....

Would appreciate reposts and replies with opportunities.

An advantage to letting you 16yo drive you is you get to take pictures of the sunset.

Yes, it's great to watch a #manutd match when they're winning, but it's also great to watch a match when they have intention and structure.

So I think I'm "happy" enough with my rebuild of the old Heroku Ebook project from Python to Javascript (neither of which I am remotely _comfortable_ with, but ChatGPT did help me narrow down areas I needed help) to release it. Now only supports 🦋 and 🐘 - Fuck 🆇 […]

A friend of mine is on the board of a great animal shelter in northern England, and they need some help to continue to keep their doors open or else they may need to close after nearly 40 years. I would appreciate you taking a look.

Well, this is as good a time as any to announce I brought back my old Twitter ebook bot (because I know _everyone_ was anxiously waiting, also known as @vtimd. It takes all of my past Tweets, mixes in Mastodon toots & Bluesky posts, throws them through a Markov chain, and posts. Chaos […]

any React Native performance experts willing to lend a hand? i’ve been debugging feed scrolling perf on low-end Android for the past week but couldn’t make meaningful improvements. it’s very choppy on Galaxy A12, especially when scrolling past videos (but not exclusively). any help is appreciated!

My youngest (only kid actively at home now) is on a school trip, and I let him drive to the airport at 415a. I took these cool pics of the fog over the Kansas City, Kansas rail yards as we drove past.

We're about to see every wannabe bootlicker, who held out because they didn't think they could get away with doing what it would take to get in his good graces, hop on the train to the abyss and benefit as much as they can over the next 4 years like all the others did with no real consequences.

I'll be presenting at #gdg #devfestkc this coming Saturday, Nov 9, on the role that #devex plays in the success of #devops activities and principles in your organization.

Today's "Random musing from Jeremy":

I hate dentists. A lot. I'd much rather use TravisCI or Bitbucket. Or Jira.

In other news... I'm getting a root canal now.
