Next week we'll have Claire from Microsoft (clairegiordano.bsky.social) talking about blogging. If you're writing more or want your writing have more impact, join us.

They were looking for women with actual tech jobs to talk about what they do. I was full of hope for this experience but it was a tiny disaster. They mostly just asked me "what does crunchy data taste like" 😋🤣🫠05 Dec 2024 23:24 +0000at://did:plc:ffief3mhud66ncbin3nalk5f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lclst4urkc2p
