This is your regularly-scheduled reminder that OpenAPI 3.1 is more than 2 years old. If you're still working with older versions, you're holding back better developer experiences. Ask your API providers to upgrade, or look into doing so for your own APIs. It's worth it. #DevXLorna Mitchell (@lornajane)Mon, 13 Feb 2023 20:52 GMT

tech jobs were considered cushy and “safe” until very recently and it really just shows how the hammer inevitably comes down on everyone. organize your workplace now.

I've just gotten around to looking at the analytics data that I have on my personal website and it's pretty wild looking at how I increased my readership ~1500% since 2016.
I don't have a 🧵 for you, but if you're interested, check out my site in review posts.
Maybe I'll talk more about what I've done for it - but it's not like I've done that much to try and boost engagement and readership, although colleagues and friends will disagree, as I'm quite openly trying to point people to my blog, as seen when I got promoted at Capital One.
These stats don't include anything around my Week Notes, as I don't count them as "blog posts" per se, and they'd definitely boost the numbers of posts for the years I've been doing them.

For those that may or may not have seen the news that Deliveroo are going through redundancies, I'm unfortunately one of the roles at risk.
Although I'm not looking for a change - redundancy process permitting 🤞🏽 - I'd be happy to hear if there are roles that you think I may be interested in.
Looking for Senior level roles for similar compensation to now and working on and with Go, Open Source, OpenAPI, Renovate, Dependency Management and distributed systems.
