My idea is the following: think of 1 talk that you really enjoyed, no matter how long ago, and go to that speaker Twitter/Linkedin/Blog and thank them for it. We spent countless hours preparing content, and we get hit really hard by unconstructive criticism, I feel like a failure

Are You Speaking Too Quickly? Pay attention to audience feedback. If one person reports a problem with understanding you, this may be an individual perception or opinion. #keynotespeaker #motivationalspeaker #successtips

If you’re into @laravelphp, chances are that your composer.json has our name in it.  If our code helped you in any way, consider supporting us via @Patreon. patreon.com/spatie RT's = ❤️ #laravel #php

Tip: at conferences/meetups, if you ask a stranger "What do you do?" you'll get something like "I'm a Java programmer". Instead, ask "What do you work on?".

If you're giving talks, get your butt on twitter! If you're on twitter, post your handle on your slides! If you post it on your slides, don't just put it on the first and last slides: we want to tweet all your good stuff!

Best opening line for a talk abstract I've seen in a while: "Remember when setting up an auth system was easy? Me neither." :)

If you've never pull requested before, don't be afraid! I wrote it up how to contribute to OS on GitHub while back: mattstauffer.com/blog/how-to…

How to contribute (via pull request) to an open-source GitHub project using your own fork

I just recently joined a new open source project, and there were a few folks on the team who weren't familiar with how to contribute to an open source project by forking your own copy, so I wrote this

Hey #WavePHP18 attendees: when you get up to get more coffee, please remember to lock your laptops. As developers, we deal with far too much important and/or confidential info to just leave our machines unlocked #OpSec

When you are selecting a conference to go to, check out how they treat their speakers, because a portion of your ticket goes to that treatment. Fin/

When I was running conferences I would always have spare dongles but I would only lend them to speakers in exchange for their Drivers License. Funny how after I started that I never lost another one. :)
