2027 CodeMash Conference

CodeMash is a conference for developers. We eat, drink, and learn about all things code and do it all in shorts and sandals by a pool.

I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.

Week one is a wrap and I didn’t hear the phrase “drinking from the firehose” once! ☺️ Usually, that’s all I hear when starting a new role. I’m getting up to speed quicker because no one is pressuring me or making me feel stupid because I don’t know everything on day one. It’s so refreshing!

After a long job search, I'm excited to announce that I've joined Stack Overflow as a Community Delivery Manager! I'm so excited to work for a company whose whole focus is community and learning!

🤖🧱 In case you missed it, The @codemash.bsky.social Call for Sponsors is open! We know we can't have the event without your support so are enhancing the sponsorship experience and offering new options. Check out the sponsor prospectus. #CodeMash events.codemash.org/2026CodeMash...

The TechLife Columbus Spring Fling was a great; and I caught up with so many people! After traveling for a few years, it’s so good to be back in my home tech community and see that it’s still going strong! See y’all tomorrow at Stir Trek!

I helped launch a brand new product today with a badass group of Ruby engineers. Our hope is to create a lot more independent entrepreneurs through collaborative commerce. Distribution only through ads is obsolete. This was one of my favorite things I built. And it's free. www.offerlab.com

My favorite Super Bowl tradition is people complaining about halftime shows as they age. I remember our parents & grandparents complaining about Aerosmith + Britney Spears in 2001 and saying Gaga was “too much/too queer” in 2017. When did Millennials & Gen-X become the new boomers?

Today I interviewed several people, signed up for some tech events, scheduled a couple coffees, located a great pool of junior-level candidates, and discussed a couple potential recruiting contracts. It’s good to be back! 👩🏽‍💻🙌

Whether you love or hate the ⏰ app, it’s dystopian to see this type of message when opening any communication platform. So much for the freedom of expression (i.e. freedom of religion and speech) that we codified as the first amendment to our Constitution. 😢

Me at 6pm: I’m totally going in the hot tub after the teardown and final meeting are done. Me the moment I’m back in my room: Changing clothes and walking all the way there sounds like way too much work. That means it was an amazing week at @codemash.bsky.social! See y’all next year! 🤖
