I have built one of the strongest DevRel teams in the game! We are often praised by other companies for how we're educating the software engineering industry as they are incorporating AI into their workflows. My team is at the bleeding edge of agentic engineering. They have been on the front line learning, building, and teaching AI. Unfortunately, with the latest Block RIF, the majority of them are on the market. If you're looking for a Developer Relations Engineer, Technical Community Manager, or Tech Writer who is well versed in AI and creating impactful content, I have an entire roster available. Please reach out to me for your next hire 🙏🏽

want to increase the click area without messing up your layout? try `:after` with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px` this creates a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without changing the layout

I hate LeetCode grinding. So, I fixed it. @mockrr_ai is a tool I developed to teach engineers how to be better problem solvers in coding interviews using my patent-pending process. By a former FAANG software engineer, for engineers.
