Nobody will care more about your tech presentation than you. Practice. Go to tech checks. You’re responsible for every pixel and the audience will notice that you care.

Also, it's important to note that GitHub uses verified email addresses, not the mailmap, so I'm actually a few spots lower down. Use this to find out the real numbers: git shortlog -ns --no-merges origin/master

Being able to code in such a way that your past failures don’t happen again is a mf-ing super power everyone should want. A superpower that grows and grows as you get older.

When you're faced with a BIG engineering effort, how do you approach development? Before we dove into code for contributing Scalar to Git, we solidified four 4️⃣ development principles that we used to guide our decisions. 🧵
