It's been a minute since I've attended a conference, but I'm so looking forward to #LeadDevWestCoast Oct 16-17 in Oakland!
Spending a couple of days listening, taking notes, and talking to other people interested in learning is one of the most invigorating things I can do.
Hope to see you there!

Hi! New to bsky and figuring out where my peeps are again. In the meantime, a re-intro: engineering at Etsy (usually international oriented), parent, occasional watercolorist, amateur most things (especially photography). My words are my own, may not reflect my employer's.
