Life
Catching up with friends in NYC, which is always great! Also got to see some friends – some that I had only interacted with online – in Chicago. Got a hair cut! Walked along the highline a bunch, which was lovely.
Work
Hectic. Working on product definition and research stuff, and I got some new responsibility.
Gave a talk at BrooklynJS (about interviewing), where I was surprised in a cupboard as I was practising and I screamed and fell over – an all time low for my pre-talk game. Also gave my burnout talk at Write Speak Code [storify].
We open sourced Technically Speaking!
Media
Reading What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.
Published
A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.
I sent Where the Hell is Cate letters from LGA and ORD.
