ZenDev - Friday Frontend: Update from KBall

Hello Friday Frontend Subscriber!

It has been almost exactly two years since the last edition of the Friday Frontend, and I wanted to send you a quick update on some new things I'm up to that might be interesting to you:
  1. I've started a new newsletter called Human Skills focused all of the non-technical skills that go into success in the tech industry. Every week I'm interviewing tech industry leaders and sharing their insights. The most recent edition featured Miško Hevery, the creator of AngularJS and Qwik.
  2. I'm offering 1:1 coaching for engineers and engineering managers. If you're feeling stuck in your career or like you're not getting the growth support you would like from your manager and peers, come talk to me and maybe I can help! Even if you're not sure but you think you want to learn more, you can book a free exploratory session with me.
I hope you are doing well, that the last two years have treated you well, and that the recent layoff chaos in the industry has not impacted you.

Best,
KBall from ZenDev
