Tomorrow I begin my journey to Prague for @mDevCamp! I can't think of a better (or at least more in-character) way to be introduced to Prague, than by gathering with a bunch of mobile devs. Looking forward to helping folks cut their teeth on the workings of the iOS Keychain!

I always make sure that my performance self-reflections at work consider my audience. It's important to highlight what management wants to see, in their infinite wisdom 😌
(This is an actual message I sent my boss)
