So many strangers have complimented me on my shirt today

"that's why they pay me the big bucks! 😀"

Open source business models are hard. A question I often get it why is it even open source? Here are some of my thoughts on that, and reasons why

I had a fab time speaking at Women in Tech, Notts! My talk “The Ripples from Pebbles” was written from the depths of my creative dreamer heart. I’m glad it resonated so much 🥹 The audience was engaging+supportive, esp with my croaky throat 💛 guess I’m feeling ready to speak at more events in 2025 👀

If, after quitting your job, you hear or get notified about your ex-leader doing these : Speaking negatively about your departure Undermining your decision by criticizing you, your new role or company Attempting to make you feel guilty Spreading resentment throughout the organisation Taking the resignation as a personal attack Prioritizing their own interests over those of the team Being absent or unavailable for the team during the transition Spreading gossip about you Delaying or writing vague performance appraisals or recommendations for you Displaying an “it’s all about me” attitude Failing to acknowledge their own mistakes or shortcomings Blaming others for failures or problems within the team These behaviours scream insecurity, selfishness, and a lack of confidence in building and retaining talent. They crush team morale, erode trust, and send a clear message to the rest of the team: ‘You’re disposable too.’

One of my toxic ADHD traits is that if paying a bill requires me to enter too much information, I just don't. Usually they then sign me up for this cool service called "collections" where they fill out all the info for me and all I have to do is enter my card number. It's very convenient. 11/10.
