Hi friends! I have exciting news to share... I've joined @apollographql as a Sr Developer Advocate! I'll be helping developers who work with REST APIs successfully integrate their services into GraphQL by using Connectors to quickly build subgraphs for a federated architecture

I had the opportunity to speak to incoming 9th graders at @TheSEEDSchoolMD. Apparently this is what I look like trying to hype kids up about being a dev and what devrel is. They are building robots, learning python and JS! So different from my high school. So impressed!

Wow. The level of rage I feel about this has me typing and deleting responses to this so fast. I can't decide on something not full of vitriol so I will just say this...the way she was treated isn't unusual for women. He just said the quiet part out loud.

Had a bit of rain and all the flower petals fell off the trees to create magical pink sidewalks. 10/10 for mama natch.

I am officially 1 year as a dev advocate this month! Should I write a blog post about my experiences? Thinking it could be useful to anyone considering this path as the role varies in different companies.

I just bought fresh new legal pads and feel like I can accomplish anything now. Where all my physical note takers out there? I find it so satisfying.

If LinkedIn thinks I'm a Java expert, okay to add to my resume?

Well my jaw dropped at $150k for a junior role that is also fully remote 😂 But I would say if you aren't hiring successfully, that's a hiring process problem and potentially a junior mentorship/onboarding problem. A blanket no to self-taught juniors seems shortsighted to me

I asked @marktechson for some pointers on how to get to the next level as a speaker and while it's fresh in my brain I wanna share it with you all so you can benefit from his expertise as well... paraphrasing in 🧵
