First Developer Job!

I'm so excited to announce that I've accepted a position at charm!

lipgloss example

I'll be hacking away at their tools with the team and working with the community to improve the products, host fun events, and add value to users as a developer relations person. The team is truly incredible and I'm looking forward to growing more as a developer and content creator.

If you haven't heard about Charm, they build command line tools for developers. If you've ever seen my live coding on Twitch, you'll know how much I enjoy living in the terminal and how convenient it is to have useful terminal tools. I'm actually building a side project using bubbletea and glamour that acts as a project journal for keeping track of your design decisions throughout the lifespan of a project.

If you want to learn more about that project, you can check out my "elevator pitch" here

I'm really excited to dive deeper into their ecosystem and provide guidance to other developers on how to use the tools to improve their quality of life. I think that providing developers with tools that make the command line fun and accessible will lead to significant improvements in their workflows just like it has mine.

Stay tuned for updates on how to get started with their tools and for cool projects that get built with them.

Congratulations!

Funny side story: Last year while I was still at my previous role, I learned go for a number of reasons. I remember checking out the chat on one of your go streams (wasn't a frequent viewer, nor do I watch streams much) and we had a brief conversation about the language that made me seriously check out go. I did some projects in it, liked it, and got a job using go in January. So in some weird way I may not have my current role (which is fantastic) were it not for you twitch streaming go. Thanks, I guess! I hope you enjoy your new role, and I'm glad to see you advancing your career 🤝😎
