Hey y’all!

I feel like my own side projects haunt me sometimes.

I’ve officially been working at GitHub for two months, today, as Senior Director for Developer Advocacy!

While at GitHub Universe last week, I started trying out the Waymo service that my coworkers were raving about, which is basically… an on-demand taxi with a robot driver.

Today marks a full year of Jumblie puzzles!

I spoke at Figma Config this year!

In case you missed my LinkedIn post or tweet about it, my team is open sourcing Brainstory, eventually shutting it down, and we’re separating as a team.

You know that meme phrase, “Wow!

I spoke at The Merge in Berlin this past week!

This is a blog that is truly written for the purpose of me using my keyboard because it feels nice.
