I looooove these:

Advocating for myself looks like…

  • Self-affirmations

Congratulations - I've been a professional dev for close to 30 years now. It really makes me happy to hear fresh new voices excited about joining in. Especially diverse voices.

This post and your "wine glass" article are great. I'm still learning - and that's what keeps it fresh.

I wish you nothing but the best - and hope you have twice the fun that I've had in my career.

You rock!

All the best,
John H. (he/him)
