Developer Avocados 🥑 Weekly
11 Must-Watch Conference Talks That Will Inspire You For 2019 - in which Oliver Lindberg rounds up 11 of the best presentations they saw last year to inspire and get you excited for 2019. They range from the practical to the personal and cover inclusive design, web performance, layouts, product design, mental health, and much more. Look closely, and you’ll find they even sneaked in more than 25 talk recommendations, along with some useful resources for further reading.
Speaker Ballads - in which Jo/Hanna Pearce shares poetry for speakers. We've seen this on stage live at the London Global Diversity CFP Day this weekend and loved it so much that we had to share it here.
Lady Conference Speaker: Speaker Bios - in which Heidi Waterhouse shares tips about writing your bio, intended to help all potential speakers, but explicitly targeted to women and other under-represented speakers.
A way to write tech presentations - in which Charly Poly shares a methodology — also valid for writing articles — intended to motivate you to start writing, present or evolve in your current speaker experience.
Coping with Feedback - in which Dan Abramov shares some personal techniques that help reduce the anxiety stemming from maintaining a balance between providing guidance and learning from people using an API and their experiences.
