Come hang with us in @infracoders Melbourne in Aug 9! I'll be talking about using Github as a mechanism to argue about software well. Or having an existential crisis. Probably both.

badly implemented #SRE is basically like
hey homes, we have this set of life-intrusive, health-adverse, psychologically exhausting work that we want only a few of us to do buuuut it pays more

In this talk #LCA2022 talk, I'm either unpacking practical examples of community gardening in tech and creating simple comms/decision pathways in software orgs.

Mad props to the organizers of #LCA2022 - one of the best experiences I've had as a speaker. Everybody was thorough, kind, and considerate throughout the whole thing. Like a well-oiled, supportive machine. <3

I find Ubiquitous Language workshops to be highly important in software, but damn if it doesn't leave me in a state of arguing afterwards.
