Issue 288

While it has been almost a year since I got on an airplane to go speak to people, and it is looking unlikely that will be happening again soon, I'm happy to be working on some new talks for 2021. I will be speaking at axe-con, linked below, and also for An Event Apart. Watch this space for some more dates coming soon!

If you run a meetup or event, or would like a speaker for a (virtual) in-house event or workshop in your company, drop me a line. I'm well set-up at this point to deliver everything from a short talk to a full day of training, from my home office to yours.
