I am excited about what’s next for me (more on this next week). For now, just want to say how grateful I am to my RedMonk colleagues for my time as a monk.
Also, I left you a post on my way out:

#MonkiGras here I come!
Who will I see there?
I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3
Absolutely professional imho
And check out the show notes for links to excellent related public scholarship from both @grimalkina.bsky.social and @analog-ashley.bsky.social

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
The plane needs more medicinal bourbon in this case
like I am 80% sure my first flight this morning ran out of bourbon before we finished de-icing
In 2025, is every Saturday morning flight basically like a flight to Vegas, or are folks just Buffalo Tracing their way through the end times?
How does @githubeducation.bsky.social plan to reach 1 BILLION developers? @github.com's @avni321.bsky.social joins @kellyann.bsky.social to talk global developer enablement, the role of generative AI, and why the world needs coding skills now more than ever.

Hi!
Screenshot saying “Finally, hats off to Rachel Stephens, who was promoted to Research Director at RedMonk. Congrats Rachel!
In the latest @redmonk.com update from @kateholterhoff.bsky.social. Congratulations @rstephens.me A very well deserved promotion!!!!
it's just my experience, but i've been calling my rep's offices regularly since 2016, and one of my rep's mailboxes is full and half of one senator's lines either don't go through or were busy.
that's never happened in the time i have been calling.
keep the pressure on. call your reps. 5calls.org
Wild how the category of “women” must both be ruthlessly defended by the right but also stripped from all direct research, support, or institutional funding.
my December 2024 brain has some serious explaining to do
All the coffee
