Yesterday, in the event of WordSesh I delivered a talk a topic that I am truly very passionate about; Developer Tooling β if it’s your first time here then let me prefix this article by saying that I love building and then open sourcing professional workflows with developer tooling.
With hundreds of open-sourced automation tools and scripts, I have ended up building an audience around my work. The last I checked there are a total: 249,634 developers using my open source software.
So, that’s what I decided to talk about. Built this presentation with the help of Go lang, Hugo, Twitter Emoji, and a bunch of other stuff. There’s also a recording of the talk that I’ll be sharing soon.
Due to heavy rain/flood in my area, my local ISP almost drowned, which caused the internet to be extremely slow during the presentation β dropped three times, but I had one of the coolest live talk audience.
Peace! βοΈ
