Engineering manager at #GitLab | Talk to me about #designsystems #webperformance, #frontend and #management
Ever wondered what I do all day? It’s not usually this, but watch me work live on #designsystem migrations for the #gitlab Pajamas migration day.
Pajamas Migration Day!

@jtruk I think I’ll die happy if the last thing I hear before I go is, “this is the human who made us draw bananas with an uncomfortable amount of teeth”
@dboehmer not at my desk right now but I’ll find the issues for you in the morning

I’ve been playing with #midjourney this week and the results are mind blowing. Being able to visualise my stream of consciousness is a really strange feeling.
See if you can guess the prompts for these images:
As promised, here are the slides and transcript from my talk last week. I’ve re-titled it, “Lessons from Leadership” and it’s the closing chapter on my time as Acting Chief of Staff to the CTO at #GitLab
Talk: Lessons from Leadership
This week, I gave the first talk with no code in the slides. It was all about the lessons I learned from leadership during my time as Acting Chief of Staff to the CTO at GitLab. Unfortunately, it wasn't recorded. But here are my slides accompanied with a rough transcript.
