I helped with the Horsham Fencing Club stand in the town market today. There was a fair bit of interest despite the cold and the wet! Glad to see my booth duty and people skills are not limited to tech conferences.

I feel like salt and shake crisps could have taken off again if they leaned heavily into ‘see it say it salted’

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Home! Aaaaaaah.

@Edent Sadly, yes.

FOSDEM was so busy that I forgot to take my good brain meds for three days. That explains a lot! But also my brain was good because I was in my (mostly) happy place?

Heading back home from #FOSDEM with a big reminder list of things to look at, and a brain buzzing with new potential. Love it.

Hello #Brussels #FOSDEM, #fosdem2026! I've already seen three people I know, how many more of you are here tonight? 😂

I have at least two dinner plans every night apart from tonight. Nice problem to have!

I think that whoever put “sleeping,” “socializing” and “spending time with family” on the list of hobbies in the python developers survey needs to take a vacation for the safety of themselves and everyone around them

@nest hi and welcome ☺️
this made me laugh!

A few weeks ago I was part of a careers in tech panel at a local college, hosted by my old Computing teacher.

I introduced myself with “hi, I’m Issy, I failed most of my A Levels and now I work for GitHub as a senior engineer.”

People said to me afterwards that it was great that I was so honest explaining the path that I took (lots of trial and error, and pushing the comfort zone saying yes to things including this public speaking!), giving hope to kids who aren’t “traditional”.

I love it when she looks up at the action in the sky
