When I’m talking to someone well-known or in a leadership position, I become hyper-aware of their time, especially at conferences when others are waiting. Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually cutting good conversations short because I’m too worried about being respectful.

I often forget to take pictures when I’m in the moment, but when I remember, Noah Harris never misses a chance to photobomb. 😂 Great meeting Veronika and Eric, my fellow New Jerseyan, and reconnecting with Tobi!

I normally don’t text myself notes after a conversation… unless I’m talking to @robocell. Caught him at @CommitYourCode for a quick chat and walked away feeling like he handed me the winning playbook on a silver platter. I can’t wait to message him in 6 months with the results.

Great catching up with @dgarcia_appdev at @CommitYourCode, the only person to find my hidden Easter egg, which led to an important lesson about React’s useEffect. Thanks for the insight and confidence boost!

Only one day until the Commit Your Code Conference, and I just passed the final class of my first term at WGU! Now I can head to Dallas with school off my mind, enjoy the conference, and maybe share some exciting news soon. 👀

Get those grandpa New Balance shoes off the bed. Grab yourself a pair of Under Armor memory foam slides for the house.

I wasn't planning on a redesign, but after a bit of inspiration from @DThompsonDev the wheels started turning. I knew I had to create something more impactful and story-driven. Mission accomplished, I’m locking the editor on this for at least 6–12 months. djneill.com/

If you’re not following @DevLeaderCa , you’re missing out. Shoutout to @shashiwhocodes for connecting us 2 yrs ago. Nick always gives back, AMA streams, podcasts, etc, and somehow answers every question I’ve asked. Finally thanked him & heard his insights on learning new skills.

Had an amazing time at CYC 25 (Commit Your Code)! Tons of insight on JavaScript, .NET, Cloud, AI, Java & Leadership—plus fun socials like pickleball, Truck Yard, and Fowling bowling (look it up 😅). Grateful for this community & already excited for the next one!

Jiu-Jitsu taught me how to stay calm when things fall apart. You can be losing, stuck, gassed out, but if you stay cool, you can find a way to capitalize. Turns out that’s a useful skill when your app crashes and the logs aren’t helping. Keep breathing. Keep debugging.

Excited to share a preview of the Apartment Building Management System — a full-stack project from a 6-week dev cohort. This demo covers the Tenant Dashboard (my main contribution). Full presentation w/ Admin Dashboard coming soon! #buildinpublic #devshowcase

In just 6 weeks we built a fullstack app from scratch, all while working full-time! From wireframes to Figma to database design, we made it happen. Filmed my demo and can’t wait to share! Huge thanks to @DThompsonDev & the Dallas Software Developers group. This team was amazing!

You're going to run @shashiwhocodes away with that pineapple pizza DFW group.

That's my favorite shirt of theirs, they were sold out when I tried to get one. Jelly! 🤣
