Hey, folks. Big layoffs at DigitalOcean today, and my team and I were hit. In fact, so was my adjacent team, and a good chunk of my department. I don't have much reach here on Mastodon yet, but if anybody wants to discuss opportunities for a technical editor / writer / manager of same, I'm up for it.

@FLOX_advocate @yaelwrites @estherschindler Sadly, I declined to speak at SCaLE this year (I was on the reserve list). It's a bit of a haul from the East Coast, and now I'd be paying for it myself. Love the conference, though.

@bmac @yaelwrites @estherschindler I like the talk you proposed, was hoping to see it

Yeah, SCaLE is a bit further off for you. murph is coming in from NJ, maybe you can stowaway in his luggage :)

@FLOX_advocate @yaelwrites @estherschindler Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. One of my short-term goals is to properly record my talks and post them somewhere for general consumption. I've got some free time now.
