This is a tad late 😅 Thank you @THATConference & @TheClarkSell for having me! I really enjoyed sharing 'Code Reviews, For the Culture.'
Check out my slides, here: slides.com/ericastanley/that…
Thanks to everyone who attended & @rosslarsonWI for the reminder to share my slides. 😊
@ericastanley Would you please share the slides from your session at @ThatConference ? I really liked the suggestions on culture in the context of code review.

Last week I had a BLAST giving my first conference talk EVER at @ThatConference in WI. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and special thanks to @TheClarkSell for mentoring me through the CFP Process.
I recorded my talk and the link is in the comments ⬇️

I asked for this dataset to become public nine years ago. It’s finally happening!

Remember when a 19-year old Paige Bueckers used her ESPY’s speech to call out the excessive coverage players who look like her receive in the media?

I am very disheartened by my experience with @helldivers2. In order to play video games I use an infrared hat to relay movements I make with my head into keyboard presses. Helldivers 2 blocks the program from input. I have not met a game yet that blocks my hat, until now.
But even worse, they also block Dragon NaturallySpeaking-My dictation program that allows me to use my voice to speak to my computer, and Comfort on-screen keyboard-a virtual keyboard that allows the mouse to push keyboard keys.
Effectively, an anti-cheat protocol is blocking assistive technology inputs from being read by the game. I don't have a solution for this.
I hope to reach out to them and work with them on getting these things unblocked because anyone who needs any of those kinds of assistive technologies will not be able to liberate any democracy.

I'm working on a new talk about careers in tech that're adjacent to software engineering 🥳
💡 I’d love to collect perspectives from folks in these dev-adjacent roles [RTs appreciated]💡
🤔 What would you say:
1) are the top three skills needed for your role?
2) are two other disciplines you most often work with?
3) is your favorite thing about your type of work?
4) is the advice you'd give for someone wanting to break into your discipline?
5) Bonus points for sharing if your background is fully in this discipline? If not, how’d you get there? 🤗
ℹ️ Some examples of these types of roles may include Product Management, (technical or non) Program Management, Developer Relations, Product Marketing, UX, and so many more! – at Kingsgate, WA

TIF usage in my hometown. A city of 35k invested in a downtown mall in the 80's. It became the epicenter of our commercial economy in the 90's. Financially, it never panned out, but it was visionary to invest in the community. Plenty of lessons learned.
