Rob asked engineers at #LDX3 where their journeys began, and the stories were as delightful as you’d imagine.
Lara? She first learned HTML on Neopets. You could say Neopia was her first bootcamp! 🐱💻
Great talk about avoiding rewrite trap by @skamille.themanagerswrath.com at @leaddev.com #LDX3, and my favourite: "The Computers are not your stakeholders" 👏

A photo of me standing on stage at the LDX3 conference during my presentation. I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "Autistic. Employed. Taxpayer."
I usually don't love photos of myself, but I quite like this one. #LDX3 #ActuallyAutistic
Myself on stage with a background branded with the LDX3 conference logo in purple. To the left of the stage, there is a screen with live captions. Further to the left and above is a slide from the presentation, showing two people, working on a laptop together. There is a Code Your Future logo in the top right and text in the bottom right reading "We teach people who don't have access to traditional education how to code"
On the left is a LDX3 conference badge for Ali Smith. Showing Natcap / Code Your Future organisations, and Staff Product Engineer / Core Maintainer job titles. Beneath this it says LeadDev speaker. On the right is a box containing 2 iced biscuits. One in the top left says Thank You! with a British flag and a London red bus underneath. Under this is the LDX3 logo. One in the bottom right has the LDX3 logo in the center of a TfL roundel logo.
Reflecting on an incredible experience speaking at @leaddev.com #LDX3 last week! Very grateful to have been accepted.
Enjoyed discussing challenges growing teams in the era of layoffs, and hopeful my talk can provide some ideas! Slides here 👉🏻 speakerdeck.com/alismith/cre...

What stuck with me after two days at #LDX3 earlier this week?
★ AI isn’t a shortcut
★ Metrics need context
★ Leaders should build trust, not dashboards
Here are my 10 top takeaways:

So many speakers at #LeadDev #LDX3 shared links to look into later, and I've found many more when I started following those up.
This post should be handy for me to keep track of them all, and for anyone else who might like to see if anything grabs them. Enjoy!
This piece was originally commissioned by refactoring.fm, and later picked up by IEEE (career highlight!!), but this is the first time I've published it in full and uncut.
It's also the source material for the talk I gave this week at #LDX3. speakerdeck.com/charity/in-p...

And now it’s time to go home! I had such a great time speaking at #LDX3. I’m amazed at how they were able to pack so much into just two days.
Thanks to everyone who came to my talk or other activities, I really enjoyed meeting all of you!
And a special thanks for the bumblebee fidget! I love him!
Huge thanks to #LeadDev #LDX3 for adding Google Calendar sync to this year's conference app! It's been incredibly helpful for keeping track of my selected schedule

When #LDX3 had a talk on why the performance curve (stack ranking) is bad i had to go see how advanced the thinking was. spoiler: not very.. but worthy nevertheless.
Why do employers do this practice that is inefficient and counter-productive? "FOMO" […]

#LDX3 Balancing direction and empowerment by Lara Hogan
In the 2010s, we could focus on the people side of the work
In the recent market, it turns out we had forgotten none of this matters if the business doesn’t succeed
Direction vs Empowerment is a spectrum. Get comfortable with both ends of it

I don't know who's in charge of the #LDX3 music between talks but they've basically put my music library on shuffle
Have been to several #LDX3 sessions focussed on staff engineers. Many feel isolated, but they're also pretty aligned. "lots of miro diagramming to help teams communicate" got the most vigorous nod of consensus from other staff engineers. Once again many spoke of responsibilities that seem likely […]
And if you're here at #LDX3... @hazelweakly.me is giving at talk on engineering force multipliers at 3pm, AND John Doran of Phorest is giving a talk at 3:15 on how to build an observability-driven culture.
(I've seen John's talk, it is KILLER. Highly recommend!!)
Surprisingly anti-work management software, anti-dashboards stance from this speaker from an outsourcing company at #LDX3 this morning. I wonder what the overlap is between LLM agent effective spend tools and employee surveillance tools.
I'm here for day 2 of #LDX3!! I'll be doing a book signing at 2pm (come get one!) and giving the very last talk of the day, on why the best engineering orgs are the ones that build systems where ✨normal engineers✨ can move fast, ship code, delight users, and move the business forward every day.

#LDX3 The sprinter’s leadership mindset by Ugo Anomelechi
Speed is not just running.
Start: You don’t need a perfect start, you need a plan. Timely action is better than perfect
Drive: Build momentum
Transition: Pressure is at peak, protect flow
Finish: breathe to get clarity, push to finish strong

Not long now! #LDX3
#LDX3 Building scalable systems in a complex compliance world by Yinka Omole
Compliance included in the product from the start can be leveraged to enforce a better architecture and speed up expansion to new regions or business domains
At this point, I'm being held together solely by adrenaline and stimming. T minus two hours until my talk!
