      Yesterday was my last day at Deno.
      
      From today, I'll be cheering the talented team on from outside the org.
      
      This also means that I'm now considering my next move in the DX/DevRel/Technical marketing space.

      Hire Phil! I have personally had the pleasure of working with him, and he’s the absolute best. Top notch devrel, educator, speaker, due to his background in standup, a top notch MC for conferences. And he has a great sock collection.
      
      All the important things!

      If you've not seen @anjana.dev give a conference talk you should come to @heypresents.com to see @anjana.dev give a conference talk.

      Hey! Presents

      heypresents.com
      What’s in a waveform? How can we derive "do re mi” from only digits? Can synthetic sounds sing us a story?
      
      In this talk, @anjana.dev will use the WebAudio API and the library Tone.js to explore the fundamentals of audio synthesis...
      A blurred background portrait image of Anjana Vakil facing the camera, close up. Overlayed is an All Day Hey! logo in the top left, contained within a bright orange circle. Below that is an orange box with white text in a serif font containing talk information.

It reads the title "Making Waves with the Web: Audio Synthesis and Data Sonification with the WebAudio API" and below it, the details of the conference:

"Thursday 7th May 2026
09:00 – 17:00 BST
Everyman Cinema
Leeds UK"
