Hanging out with Lizzie, talking community and learning about Microsoft Azure #GreatHairCodeShare

Today I got to hang out with one of my favorite people in devrel - @lizziepika from Twilio and talk about some of my favorite things - devrel, Canada 🍁, webapps, and more! twitch.tv/lizziepikachu

To recap what we talked about:

• rethink and redefine hackathons

• the shift to digital - can you still capture your goals (for events, communities, etc.) and how you rethink community

• communities mean different things to different people

• not that much difference between junior and senior devs - you're always going to need to learn new things

• communication, communication, communication - no matter what role you have, you need to know how to express yourself, how to convey a message so learning those skills are important

• overusing the exclamation mark!

• Twilio Signal event from last year - favorite parts, attending as a Twilio Champion, being developer focused, developer energy, impactful and diverse projects

  • --> scholarship to attend Signal 2020 <--

it me :)

And then I went into a demo for Azure Static Web Apps which I will write a separate blog post (blog post here) to go through the steps I took! But to summarize:

• VSCode and how customized it can be, it's extensibility, and how powerful it is!

  • Should it be VS Code vs VSCode

• Azure Static Web Apps (Preview) extension for VSCode
