@ACM mae spoke on this topic at #strangeloop2023 and it was really excellent, i recommend it. approachable for non-academics like me
Been thinking about how I made the #womenofreact zine when I joined the React team as a way to get to know the community and promote women in tech. The zines used to disappear at confs. Ever since meeting @b0rk at #strangeloop2023, I've been thinking about making some more for clerk.com about auth and such...

Bunch of great talks from #StrangeLoop2023 and I don't think they're all uploaded yet.

When I received an invitation to give a keynote address at #StrangeLoop #StrangeLoop2023 gathering, I was both giddy and terrified. What could I possibly say that would be relevant for 1,500+ programmers and developers? I fretted over this talk for months, and ended up giving one of the most personal talks I’ve ever given on a large stage. The talk is now online, and I invite you to watch “Playing With Engineering.” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ao8GS488hA

Strange Loop recap

I finally got round to attending the Strange Loop conference for the first and last time (since the organizers won’t do another one) . What’s in a name? From an old write-up on UIUC’s website) - this being the alma mater of organizer Alex Miller: the conference has been described as a “who’s - who of interesting people doing applied computer science”. The current website describes its goal as “to make connections with the creators and users of the languages, libraries, tools, and techniques at the forefront of the industry”.

Pensées de Michel

This was a fucking fantastic talk by @b0rk -- one of the highlights of #StrangeLoop2023 . Well worth catching on YT.

A fellow #StrangeLoop2023 attendee, @jamesbvaughan, made the most of being stuck without working wifi on his #SouthWest flight back!

Wifi without internet on a Southwest flight

I spent a recent flight finding out what I could do with a connection to the flight’s wifi, but without access to the internet. I was on my way home from Strange Loop, a direct flight from St. Louis to Oakland. It’s a long enough flight that I planned to purchase the $8 internet access and get some work done, but Southwest’s wifi portal wouldn’t accept any form of payment. The web page didn’t give me any helpful error messages, so I opened up my browser’s network dev tools to see if I could figure out what was going wrong.

September is flying by! I thought it would drag on due to the “being unemployed from getting laid off” but between some trips I had planned (key west, #strangeloop2023 ) and working on projects it’s almost October. 🤯
On the train to Chicago from St Louis along with a solid post-Strange Loop contingent.
