  • Forgetfulness

    One of the challenges of being back at an event like YOW Brisbane is that it highlights how terrible my memory has become for faces. I’m usually good if I see a person’s nametag, but without it I will 100% reintroduce myself to someone I’ve met many times. 😔 Apologies in advance everyone – it’s not you; it’s definitely me!

    Day 2 at YOW 2024 Melbourne! I saw fantastic talks about getting executive buy-in, why you should develop your tech lead skills, how Spotify built Discover Weekly, nuances to programming in Rust, horror stories about not using feature flags, and why 100% efficiency is a bad goal. #yow24
