Tell me your stories of navigating the recruitment process as a dev looking for a job, and if you've been in the game for a while, tell me how it's changed lately (I want to use these stories on the Modern Software Engineering channel)01 May 2026 15:53 +0000at://did:plc:7kzsipnvannpccj5dbeslj3p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mksif5gfok2whttps://bsky.app/profile/trishagee.bsky.social/post/3mkp6nqie4s25Am I taking longer generating pretty backgrounds for my slides than I am creating actual content for my slides?

I'm creating a new talk for @devoxx.uk next week, and as usual I want your insights into The Real World. If you're using AI as a developer or engineering leader, let me know which fundamentals or "stuff that we've known for ages" are helpful.29 Apr 2026 09:16 +0000at://did:plc:7kzsipnvannpccj5dbeslj3p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkmrbmciks26https://bsky.app/profile/trishagee.bsky.social/post/3mjk2drd7q22sThis is possibly my favourite talk I've given in the last couple of years. It's about how to apply the stuff you've learnt at a conference (or through research) and how to convince your bosses that you need time to play. #DeveloperProductivity https://youtu.be/kSNwB5xilgQ?si=DFkZUttW4SltSN_o15 Apr 2026 13:56 +0000at://did:plc:7kzsipnvannpccj5dbeslj3p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjk2drd7q22shttps://bsky.app/profile/trishagee.bsky.social/post/3mjfa32u6ck2sWe completed the half marathon!

The talk is in English, the rest of the event is probably Spanglish on my part.

Just a quick update on what I'm up to these days, but at least I'm blogging again https://trishagee.com/2026/04/09/there-are-only-opportunities/ #techlayoff #layoff10 Apr 2026 07:32 +0000at://did:plc:7kzsipnvannpccj5dbeslj3p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj4sm76qz225https://bsky.app/profile/trishagee.bsky.social/post/3mj2n6ayuc22mI updated my personal site! I've been wanting to give it a "proper" design overhaul for years, but the time investment needed meant that I kept putting it off. Thanks to Claude, and to having a bit more "free" time right now, I finally did it!

Realise that organisations have adopted this approach because they see you, the developer employee, as a untrusted, unsupported individual working in isolation, and treat you as such.
