Am I on a list?
I'm not sure why so many people are following me.
I have no content!

All these steps worked.
I'm a networking demon!

Step 3: Tell them your role and what you build and maintain. Then ask them if they do something similar? This is huge for me because it allows me to understand if my role is unique in the industry or not. And it helps me find something to talk about.

Step 2: Ask them about the culture for engineering. I asked about how people reach out to one another, do they document things, what are meetings like etc.

Step one : Tell people (mainly recruiters and reps) them you are not looking for a job.
Lowers the pressure and sets expectations for both parties.

5 min at #afrotech24 and I think that the main hall is not for someone like me who isn't looking for a new job.

It's really ok Uber/Lyft you really don't hate to change your Spotify playlist to Rap Caviar.

My goal for this work trip is to not be cynical.

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

The more I think about it the more I think I'm overthinking this whole thing and should post my thoughts here as I would more or less on my Instagram with the hope that I will have the opportunity to talk to other like-minded people here. (6/6)

I want to engage with other leftists, technologists, movie enjoyers, music lovers, etc. but I also have another fear to consider. Looking like an uninformed idiot online. Or even worse an unfunny uninformed idiot online.(5/6)

I am who I am online as I am IRL (with some professional guardrails at work). So I think that the risks I imagine posting my thoughts and replying to other posts publicly isn't appropriately leveled.(4/6)

I think there's some weird doxxing fear I have with online people finding out who I am IRL which begs the question, is that really a problem?(3/6)

I crave community but I don't engage on platforms that foster them.(2/6)

Tbh I have no idea what to do with this account. I was a twitter lurker and now I'm finding myself in the same place with Bluesky.(1/6)

Not a single tool necessarily but overtime as I work on more services, more build artifacts pile up that I ignore until I realize I have no more space left. Happens like twice a year in my experience.

The funniest thing about this: If you just disqualified both Trump and Biden and held an election between two random governors, most people would say β€œoh thank Christ”
