Now (August 2023 edition)
I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since I updated this page. I will try to avoid this happening again.
Flying around
I did a heck of a lot of travel, mostly thanks to Contentful. It was great to visit places, interact with various communities, and meet friends from the Internet.
One of the things that I found myself doing (and enjoying) is visiting old friends in new towns. It’s fun.
A quiet, focused summer
After all this travelling, I’m back to the UK for a bit.
I’m happy to spend my summer in a “cold” country. I’m taking this time to code, read, and focus before the conference season starts again.
I’m learning Golang and having a lot of fun with it. I already started using it for a work project. This website is being rebuild with Astro, slowly but surely.
It’s good to be back.
Remote work
Another update to remind people that remote work is really not going away. No one wants to go to an office full-time, despite the tantrums from obstinate upper managers.
- 28% of the respondents to the Jamstack survey would quit their job if made to work in-person more often.
- Spotify saw a massive reduction in turnover after going remote.
Stay safe,
Alvin
