So, next month I am joining @vercel as engineering director. Super excited for what's to come! Have been a big fan of vercel's work for years and its amazing to be part of it directly now 🥳

- Maybe everyone knows this already, but excited to officially announce that I am joining @clerk - this is my first week! I wrote up some reflections around my somewhat unconventional job search technique and why I made this decision here ✍️
- Super excited to see @vercel analytics announced at #nextjsconf - we have been testing it at @HashiCorp and are loving it. Here's a little preview of the dashboard, even with per-page breakdowns. So helpful for us to work on our site's performance 😍
- 👋 Hi friends! I'm ready for the next step in my career 🚀 I made a little resume site that goes over: - My career history - References from coworkers - My side businesses (including the bagel shop) - My values resume.jeffescalante.com Let's make cool things together 💖
- Excited to finally see this launch after a ton of hard work from @shuding @styfle @huozhi and others 🎉 vercel.com/blog/introduci…
- So, a lot of github-integrated services are built to run on every commit. Netlify, percy, CI, etc. Developers link these services up to github and every time someone makes a commit, each of the services run, and report back via the checks UI.
- Flying back home from @reactathon and the @clerk and @vercel events in SF this week and overflowing with gratitude for all of the incredible people that I met, the friends I could hug and reconnect with, and the deep, thoughtful, and silly conversations from tech to toilets 💖
- 🎁 Hey friends, I have some free some free next.js swag from @vercel to give away before #nextjsconf next week! Reply with your favorite community-built next.js plugin/utility - I'll pick 10 winners and DM you a link to get a free next.js tee shirt 👕 or mug ☕ on friday 🎉
- It’s easy to be sucked into this world where developers agonize over tooling and architecture decisions and never actually build anything. Don’t let it happen to you 💕
- I think I may be addicted to ai generating landscape illustrations 😍
- I'm diving deep in to next's strengths and weaknesses and how HashiCorp uses it tomorrow at Next Conf. Check out my talk on "Stage X" @ 12:30pm EST! 💖 nextjs.org/conf/stage/x
- Come say hello! I've got a secret demo of a very cool upcoming feature as well if you ask 👀We hope you’re as excited as we are for #ReactMiami this week. Stop by Clerk's booth to meet the team and join our scavenger hunt for a chance to win a Steam Deck OLED!
- Made a github action-ish script that will analyze your next.js bundle for each pull request, and includes perf budgets. Hope it's helpful, feedback welcome! github.com/hashicorp/next… cc @vercel
- If I can accomplish anything in my tech career, ideally it would be for being a kind and supportive person who people like to hang out with and work with. Any other form of success, I hope, would follow naturally if I can get there 🧑🤝🧑💖
