Yet Another Newsletter LOL: So Nullish

Another week, another newsletter. Let's get to it!

Shameless Plugs

My co-worker @bekahhw and me had another Hacktoberfest check-in this week. Hacktoberfest is almost done, so there's still time.

I had a great conversation with Amy Dutton (@selfteachme), RedwoodJS core team member, this week on nickyt.live. We discussed the new things in RedwoodJS, dev & design.

Here's a highlight from the stream. Full recording dropping on nickyt.tube next week!

This past Thursday, I had the privilege of giving a talk at the Hack for LA meetup. I talked about my career and open source. I'm not sure when the recording is dropping, but here's my slide deck for anyone interested.

Lastly, I was happy with some work I did regarding automation for OpenSauced this week. We use the take-action GitHub action that my co-worker @bdougieyo created. It's great for external contributors because they can self assign issues. The downside is it caused some back and forth when things weren't ready to be worked on.

For example, if an issue had the 👀 needs triage or needs design label, we'd have to respond that it's not ready to be worked on yet.

With the changes, I made, there are now blocking labels, which is great for us as maintainers. If you're a maintainer on a project, the take-action GitHub action is definitely something you should consider.

Jobs

I post jobs in the iamdeveloper.com community, plus all other kinds of content, as do others. If you're looking for another friendly nook of the internet, head to discord.iamdeveloper.com.
