Thanks @CodeOregon, @linuxfoundation, and @PortlandTechOrg for the chance to go to @apistrat #apistrat! Great learning opportunity!

Great time at my first #OregonSQL monthly meeting. (Loved the point about not resting on your laurels even if you feel like you already know enough about the task: prepare and be mindful). Good heads up about #PASS speaker idol, too (constructive feedback big bonus there)

My meetups this week: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… #oregonsql #sql #mentorshipsaturdays

I like this: "good code comes from human connection" thanks @Kris__Nova #AlterConf

Learning about inclusive design and accessibility on the web at #alterconf. thanks @praekeltorg

Great talk about ethics in tech at #alterconf #Portland. "We need to own responsibility for the things we create" thanks @feministy

Also, I really liked the color-coded nametag stickers for talking to people. Good idea!

Wow, I had a great time at my first #apistrat (over already?). Soo many awesome sessions + the panel was 👍👍

Word choice in API docs: Empathy failure, beginner's mind failure (ie not a prob to me, so not a real prob) Thanks @taylor_atx #apistrat

Removing redundancy from API doc: Static contract (#openapispec) + dynamic profile (JSON home, hypermedia, ALPS) #usability #apistrat

Dev center ingredients: #apistrat #usability @DoerrfeldBill

Usability in API design/docs: Take users' perspectives, ok to say no to edgecase users, talk to users Thanks @ashmchang #apistrat
