π What a wild few weeks! Thanks to those of you who took the time out to watch my #WebComponents talk, and special thanks to the conference hosts for offering me the opportunity to speak:
- @dletorey from @webstandards / #StateOfTheBrowser
- @alexolder from @webdevconf / #WDC2024
- @zeroheight team and #ConvergeUK
If you missed it then I've put together a write up which includes all the resources I mentioned as well as a recording of my talk from State Of The Browser
π£οΈ Itβs not lost on me how much of a privilege it was to do a talk thatβs frankly pure self-indulgence. My Dad yelling my name to hundreds of people, *and* use it to nerd out about #WebComponents??
The real privilege though was the opportunity to speak alongside all the hugely talented people on stage at #ConvergeUK hosted by @zeroheight, and to meet everyone who make up the #DesignSystems community π
Great first day at #ConvergeUK! Fantastic talks*, great vibe, a LOT of food for thought (also for a seasoned** design system practitioner like me), and above all was nice to catch up with long time friends, as well as meeting new like-minded ones. I canβt wait to be back tomorrow for the second part!
* kudos to who worked on the lineup π and to @zeroheight for organizing the event

No one's going to read this at 6:45pm on a Friday night BUT I've just published a new blog post: Burn baby burnout.
It's based on my talk at @zeroheight's
#ConvergeUK and explores why design systems are so good at burning us out, and what to do about it
Well, #convergeUK conference was just lovely this week. Fantastic thought provoking talks from folks at the top of their game, organised and run impeccably by the beautiful humans at @zeroheight and attendees that make me happy to be part of this community. Also note to self: Get out more to things like this.
10/10 would conference again.
