Looking forward to this!
Finalizing my keynote for APIDays Paris next week. I'll be covering API trends we're seeing at Gartner - including the new generation of gateway-independent API management, and growing business dependence on third-party APIs, as well as key API market gaps apidays.global/paris/

THREAD. A woman just died and babies and adults were taken to the hospital in Akron, Ohio after a carbon monoxide leak at an apartment building where the corporate landlord hadn't installed CO detectors as required by law. How do you think the local news and police treated it?

Awesome thread on simple approaches to changing your mindset when applying a community approach to developer experience/marketing
24 Oct 2022
The metrics-focused nature of marketing, when applied to relationship building of community teams, often falls flat. At the same time, marketing might rightly say it's hard to connect hugs and happiness to growth. Yet, I think Community and Marketing teams can be friends:

In the 2020 to 2021 period corporate profits made up 53% of the inflation. This figure should be the top of any conversation about inflation.
Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Awesome thread from the @apievangelist Currently working with a client on API governance processes and so many of these ring true. We are supporting light touch processes so teams are not burdened by bureaucracy, stds automation & separation between legacy & new API processes

Congratulations St Perspicacious (aka @GeorgeTakei)
Yesterday the Sisters bestowed actor George Takei our highest honor, the title of Saint! For now on, George Takei can also be known as Saint Perspicacious, Patron Saint of Making It Okay, Steady Hand at the Helm of Social Justice, Boldly Showing that No Frontier is Final!

I paid off my own loans two years ago, and I don’t even care that that I worked my ass off to do that. Cancel all student loans for everybody, and regulate college tuition.
It's been 14 years since I graduated, and I've just paid off my last student loan. 🎉🎊🎈 I will not be doing the math for you on how much those loans actually cost us. My wife still has plenty to go so we're not out of the woods yet.

By using his power to #CancelStudentDebt, President Biden can lift a huge weight off tens of millions of Americans’ shoulders, unleash a new wave of entrepreneurship, and start closing the racial wealth gap for borrowers. It’s time to make it happen.

Im sorry for those attending or organising @CircuitFestBCN but this year should be cancelled because of #monkeypox This week there are 7 people in hospital because of symptoms and over 800 diagnosed so far in BCN. Vaccines unavailable, high transmission through close contact.

Here’s what needs to happen instead: @salutcat needs to publicly share data more openly, @barcelona_cat & insurers need to financially support @CircuitFestBCN to close events, retailers need to share “how to enjoy a different bcn visit” for tourists who came to party…

Spanish ministry of health needs to buy and distribute vaccines urgently, and LGBT health groups and we in the community need to advocate for more information, greater vaccine access and non-stigmatising healthcare
What a relief! Overcoming gov inaction globally (esp. here in Spain which has the world’s highest rate of growing recent transmissions) and a dithering WHO c’ttee @DrTedros has shown true leadership and declared #monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern.

I refer to this a lot from @ewebber emilywebber.co.uk/quick-iceb…. Golden rule: make the ice breaker relevant to the meeting. Also, we put a lot of pressure on the ice breaker to be perfect. I think of it as the “commute into meeting”.
