welcome Arnold! I'd love to visit someday but yeah i'd love to help publicize a London meetup sometime! How about set a time and place for coffee and I'll help spread the word?

 Alex Shifrin  Monday 6pm confirmed - I wont be there (travel screwups...) but they will be! You should be able to chat with John and Tre in the Circle app if you need to find them!

 John William Davis  awesome! No worries let's definitely get together in Oct tho 🙂

great submission thank you!! do they define the Developer Velocity Index anywhere? I looked around but couldnt see a definition. the rest of this is made up numbers unless we know the source of this data...

so I have bad news - i cannot make this meetup now because of the ongoing Europe covid travel regulations - earliest I can get back is 26th, which means if we move this back a week to 27th I can make it. would everyone be ok with that? or would you prefer to meet without me on the 20th?

whoo! anyone have a central-ish dinner spot they like?

hey  Jai  i already responded on twitter but just for good measure... congrats!!! I only gave you the prod, you did all the hard work here. Now you have the BIGGER hard work of actually making the talk! feel free to share your talk outline, drafts or practice recordings here :) 

hey Simon that is awesome! sorry for the delayed response, i was busy preparing and traveling for my own conference which just got done in Croatia 😅 

well done and keep it up! collect pictures and examples of compliments, post it prominently on your blog, use your first talk to help book your next talk, and keep going until you hit roughly 10-20 talks a year! lots of doors will open for you as you go.

ooh nice series and beautifully presented! It reminds me a little of this post: https://stopachka.essay.dev/post/42/how-to-ace-the-senior-staff-engineer-interviews which I guess is aimed at the staff level but has some solid advice too!

love the share, thanks a lot! have yet to listen to this one but i've admired Micro from afar.
