Ahoy Shipmate,
Life is a roller coaster, and I am super duper happy to announce that I get to work with the team behind my all-time favorite everyday product Whee! as their new Fractional CTO 🚴♀️ 🎉
What is that you say? It’s a fancy term for doing the job of a Chief Technical Officer but in a part-time capacity, and it has a cool-looking acronym: fCTO.
I’m in charge of keeping the system alive while continuously making small improvements and looking ahead at what the future holds.
My career path is turning out much closer to my mother’s than I intended; she was a dev and a tech evangelist before becoming a CTO for hire 💪

Upcoming Treasure Hunts
I realized I wrote we’d be back May 18th; what on earth was I thinking? It took many days to rest up after the incredible 17th 🤣
But we’ll be back Saturday!
🎯 Let’s see!?!
🗓️ Saturday at 11:00 (AM) CET
📺 Live on YouTube and Twitch (yes!)

Crew Highlights
🎧 Episode 201 of Slow&Steady, where I chat about the new fCTO gig and embracing the factional life instead of fighting it.
🎙️ Third Data in the Wild Episode is here: Two-sided Marketplace with Anna Maste.
⛵ Ola trained the Pirate Princess for summer sailing with our friend Allister.
🍪 Hosted a brunch + co-working session today with some choice Oslo devs; let me know if you wanna join the next one.
👩💻 Got access to the Framer Plugin Demo, and I repeat: do not sleep on Framer if you already know React!
🌱 Spent time at the Greenhouse in Oslo with the Whee! gang
🥳 Helped designer James of Outseta set up his dev environment, and he created his first PR the same day, and it’s already live.
📺 Get yourself a side project (or three) so you can make YOLO tech decisions without convincing yourself it’s for a good reason…

📺 Aaron Francis compared Laravel to React, like comparing Pizza to Pineapples, if you ask me. Turns out that was kinda the point of his video.
