The one with all the in person conferences 🥳

· 3 min read ⏱️

✨ Highlights

  • DDD East Midlands was such good fun! And a great foray into IRL conferences again 🎉
  • Went into the Monzo office for the first time 🚀
  • Started attending BSL classes again, after a forced covid hiatus.
  • Went to React Advanced with my new workmates, it was great ✨
  • Family came to visit for a few days 💛
  • State of the browser was awesome. Got to meet some web twitter friends IRL and hang out ☺️
  • I succumbed to the hype (and the despondency over my 2018 MBP keyboard) and got a new mac! I ended up going for the 16” M1 Max, and this thing is so silent and fast 🤩
  • Caught up with a friend after a long time 💛
  • Went to a Brownies STEM event and it was so much fun! 🎉
  • First Homebrew back in person! 💛👩🏼‍💻
