My Problem with Commonplace Journaling
Blog post reflecting on how tattoos serve as a personal journal of fleeting moments, urging a casual approach to writing so it stays informal rather than sacred.

The hope is to do more and more leadership summits but in order to do that, it needs to become a formulaic thing. I asked how do we make this a reality at conferencechats.com - Colin - Document...

"I do not want to speak at conferences or on podcasts or do workshops in order to try and sell you a product."
I'm not saying this is me every day but it is definitely me some day. That said I've been trying to move up into a more behind the scenes role and helping the next gen of DevRel folks instead.
Best of luck Salma!

PyCon APAC Videos are up! This includes my keynote.
Hey y'all! PyCon US Videos just dropped (I don't think the Keynotes are up yet... but maybe I'm bad at youtubing).
Y'all know how math works right?
I want to try something for July.
For the month of July, each day, can I get 7 donations of $7 to Black Python Devs every day.
If successful that would be over $1500 donated and that would cover a sponsorship of 1-2 events in South America or Africa. I'll start by being the first person to donate my $7 for the entire week!
SIDE NOTE: If you were able to do $7 everyday to for the month - it would be enough to become a foundational supporter.

I learned recently about zizmor - a tool that audits your GH Actions..
TIL there is a GH-Action for zizmor but it updates the GH Security Section with findings... I didn't know that was possible.
My video of the day was Olurinatti's amazing review of many Black Revolutionaries around the world.
If you've never heard the stories of revolution in Haiti, Dem. Rep. of Congo, Burkina Faso, Granada and Guyana, take a couple hours and learn how historically black revolutions were and arguably are misrepresented and taught differently in the countries of their original oppressors.
Being in a stage of my life where I cry more and cherish more moments I can't help but think about the small things in life that remind me of the people that are no longer here.
Angela Giratana's short film left me sobbing thinking about all the "Last Moments" I've missed out on and how I haven't even begun processing them until much later in life.
I prompted a new thing into existence for Zellij. It's called zj and it's a smart session picker/switcher.

I'm a big fan of Nerando's but this is why I think I'm just not cut out for the next generation of development. My rambling nature barely allows me to write content that people want to read and now you're saying I gotta write for the bots? I'm good.
