After a 3 year hiatus, I finally did a conference talk again. It feels so surreal, so much has changed, but so much is still the same.

Today in chronicles of div deploys (and quickly reverts) on a friday evening, I hooked in a db write from an alert in kibana blissfully unaware that I'd been spamming prod for the last 30 mins ⚰️

Tired: Salary transparency now. Wired: What's the split of duties in your household?

Spent nearly every waking hour over the last few weeks with friends, family and coworkers and gosh how I've missed this

Finally back home after weeks away and of course I get my first flat of the year 😫

Hell yeah!!! What a crew 🥰

Not me bringing my whole laptop to the temple, answering pagerduty alerts surrounded by the judging eyes of aunties and deities alike
