Campfire

The people side of the craft: leadership, careers, mentoring, and the story of the blog itself.

Moving this blog from Jekyll and GitHub Pages to Hugo and GitLab Pages, and the two things I would do differently next time.

Pulling my own technical CV apart section by section: font, length, format, personal details, and the self-graded skills table.

Restarting the blog after a two-year gap, and what to do about a name that stopped being literally accurate a long time ago.

A talk abstract pitching a live game of Dungeons and Dragons on stage, dramatising a team trying to deliver a project.

A conference talk mapping Monty Python sketches onto the ways software projects fail: indecision, scope, and nobody expecting any of it.

The recorded video of my Are you a Good Code Scout lightning talk, given for NomadPHP, on applying Scouting principles to code.

Gauging interest in physical Good Code Scout badges and stickers, with a form to ask for a set if you would like some made.

Speaking at PHPNW15: winning the unconference slot, then being handed a last-minute Sunday hangover talk, and surviving both.

What a PHP Scout actually is: the Boy Scout Rule applied to code, and the rest of the Scouting ethos applied to how you work.

Physical PHP Scout membership badges, and the pledges that come with one: leave it better than you found it, and the rest.
