Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

I love to speak about my profession. I'm passionate about it, and it feels liberating to being fortunate to talk about it with great people.
Since starting my blogging journey I've been on a few talks and love to share these amazing talks with you.
Public talking is a liberator, it comes down to expressing your thoughts on topics, but not one-sided. It's often a two-way communication going on.
The are multiple ways of public talking, for this article I'll drop the talks I've done which are podcasts and a Bootcamp.
The first talk I've ever done was with Bill Coloe, thanks again, Bill!
Bill is also a developer at heart and he asked me for a general interview. Of course, that's something I'm interested in.
In this interview, we talk about blogging, JavaScript, and 3rd party tracking.
You can check out the full interview here:
The second public talk was with the Hexdevs podcast hosted by Stefanni Brasil and Thiago Araujo.
I've met Stefanni and Thiago through the Blogging for devs community by Monica Lent.
And Stefanni reached out to me to talk about learning in public, this was around the time I was trying out my Twitch and Youtube live streams when writing in public.
We talk about how I got into blogging, how I wrote a lot of articles, and which ones are the most popular.
You can check this episode here.
After this, I got asked by Hashnode to be a speaker at their Bootcamp. I attended the first Bootcamp, so to be asked as a speaker myself was super cool!
During this talk I've focussed on the topic of: Why should every developer blog? What are the best ways to start a blog in 2020?
Which was a perfect fit, since that was exactly what I did!
You can find the talk here:
And the latest podcast I was asked for is Frontend Greatness by A-P Koponen.
A-P also found me through the Blogging for devs community and reached out to talk about a Peers.
This is such an interesting topic for me, so I immediately said YEs, having peers is super important, in this podcast you'll hear our shared opinions on this topic.

As you may have guessed I love public talking and love discussion or talks about developer topics.
