Once again I’m here, sharing links, and apologizing for the lack of content this month, although I did publish seven times, and I think I had some good demos, so maybe I should just stop worrying about it? 😉 As I’ve hinted recently, I am no longer on the job market! I haven’t said where yet as I wanted to get a few weeks under my belt to ensure things were going to be ok. I’m not going to lie, my last role (and quick lay off) really messed me up a bit. That being said, I feel relatively safe now, and really like what both my role and my coworkers, so I figure it’s time to share! My new role is a Senior Developer Evangelist for Webflow. Webflow has a web-based... more →

Good morning, programs. I’m sorry for the light posting the last few weeks, but, it’s all for a good reason. Last week was my first week at my new job, which means all of my anxiety and fear are gone. Ok, maybe not, but, I’m absolutely delighted to be off the market again. I haven’t blogged about the new job yet (or even gotten around to updating LinekdIn), but I’ll do so soon. (My job isn’t top secret or anything, I’m just waiting a bit.) Ok, let’s get to the links! A Conditional Form Field Web Component I love web components, and I especially love really practical examples like this conditional form field component by Aaron Gustafson. As you can... more →

Greetings, programs, and welcome to another links post. The weather is finally beginning to turn here which doesn’t necessarily mean cold weather, but days in the low 80s, mid 70s, which is an absolute relief from summer. Just in time for Halloween as well. Last year we unfortunately got rained out – this year it looks to be clear, and I can’t wait to walk with my kids (and yes, I’ll be in full costume myself). Here are some links for your reading enjoyment. Stay safe out there. On DevRel and the Unnatural Act Up first is a stellar post by Leon Adato, HOW TO DEVREL: The Most Un-Natural Act. In his post, he describes how he not only got people to stop by his company booth... more →

I blinked and somehow missed posting this a week or so ago. Time is, to quote the good Doctor, a bit wibbly wobbly. I’m currently watching a recording of the Saints/Patriots game and hoping we can follow last week’s win with another, but I’m not sure. Of course, the game’s been done for hours now but we’ve managed to miss the news so… we can still hope. Speaking of hope, as a reminder, I’m still looking for my next role, and if you know of a good developer evangelist/advocate position, please reach out! Alright, time for some links. When JSON Isn’t… First up is a great look at how JSON may not be as universally parsed/transferable/etc as you... more →

Yeah, I’m not even going to try to comment on this past week. I can say I had two interviews, which I think went well, and I finished some demos I’ve been working for a while, so that’s a positive. Outside of that, just want to not think too much about the state of things and focus on sharing awesome, nutritious links for you to enjoy. Intl and Segmenters You know me and you know I love the Intl API, so first up is a look at getting accurate text lengths using Intl and the Segmenter feature. This post comes to us from Sangeeth Sudheer with the nicely named "Automagic" blog. Flight Data to the Database Next up is an incredibly cool post that demonstrates streaming real-time... more →

So yeah… not a great two weeks or so since my last Links post. If you missed the announcement, my time at Foxit was unceremoniously cut short which came as a complete shock. This may end up being the year I spend more time without a full time job than with. To be honest, I’m a really, really bad place right now, but, trying to maintain, and trying my best to once again find a job in the worst market I’ve seen in my career. One way or the other I’ll get through this again, but I’m really, really tired of this. Let me pretend to think positive for a moment and maybe in the next Links post I’ll have better news. Maybe. Ok, enough complaining, let’s get to... more →

Hello friends – another two weeks has gone by which means another links post to share. Sometimes, ok, pretty much every time, I’m shocked at how quickly I have to do these posts. It’s like I blink and half a month has flown by. In my last Links post I mentioned dealing with some frustrations, and they’ve gotten better, but I’m now dealing with the start of school which brings its own challenges. That being said – the family is happy and healthy, I’m employed, so I’ll take that as a win. Let’s get to the links! Why Women in Tech isn’t enough First up is pretty important post from Salma Alam-Naylor, "Why Woman in Tech isn’t... more →
