Is that </p><p><strong>swyx: </strong>[00:00:04] it? I pronounce that, right. It's it's my Chinese and English initials. And it's just a branding that I'm leaned into because it's unique. Yeah. I think it's great. </p><p><strong>Loren Sands-Ramshaw: </strong>[00:00:11] Yeah, definitely unique. So for those of our readers who don't yet know you, </p><p><strong>swyx: </strong>[00:00:15] Who are you, what do you do?</p><p>Cool. I'm Shawn. I guess I work on developer experience at Temporal. I should be more assertive. I am head of developer experience at Temporal.io. It's a Small startup that does microservices orchestration, which is a very, very fancy name that basically runs an open-source framework spun out of Uber that we can go into more details, but really, I've done.</p><p>I sort of migrated from finances, which is my first career. Then I went into Front end. So I did a JavaScript bootcamp then went into front end D started doing some speaking and writing in 2017 and got noticed by Netlify. And that's how I got into developer education, which is what we're here to talk about, I guess, and then started getting into graph QR because it was all tied into the react world.</p><p>At the time. You could not ignore graph QL and Gatsby and Apollo and all the other ecosystem in, in, in place. I did. Then I then went to AWS to do the same job, essentially where they have amplify an app sync apps think is AWS has graph QL gateway as a service, which we can talk about. And I recently left to join Temporal.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Loren Sands-Ramshaw: </strong>[00:01:18] Going back to when you were getting noticed you were like writing blogs and doin
