Hey you lovely bunch, I hope you are all well ✨❤️ My wins this week are pretty much the same… I’m just really happy right now…. Content…. Settled….. Loving my new role and I don’t even know how to explain it properly but… it just doesn’t feel like work?? I’m not complaining, they’re keeping me busy, but it’s so much fun & feel like I have truly found my passion with community management in tech spaces!!! ✨💃🏼❤️ Only whine… I am running on fumes…..I think the new routine & the past few weeks of pure adrenaline has finally caught up with me….. My body’s gone “yeah nice try, slow down woman” Before I disappear for a hot drink and a very early night… random one for you… One of the first computer “bugs” wasn’t a metaphor… it was an actual bug!!! Back in 1947, engineers working on the Harvard Mark II computer found a moth stuck in a relay, which had caused the machine to malfunction. They literally removed it, taped it into the logbook, and wrote: “First actual case of bug being found.” 🤣🤣🤣 The term “bug” already existed in engineering before that, but this is the moment it properly cemented itself in computing history. So yeah… somewhere between that moth and whatever is breaking my code this week… we’ve come a long way!!! Anyway… your turn…. Wins? Whines? Random facts? I want all of it ✨🙏❤️

Member spotlight time and this week it’s our lovely @Sarah Foxley Sarah is one of our newer members but you wouldn’t know it, she’s been straight in, getting involved, supporting people, showing up... No messing about. You’ll see from her slides she’s done some seriously cool things, from archaeology and Cambridge to completely switching into tech and now leading a team on an international open source project… but we’re not even going to try and compete with her story here, go read it properly!! What we will say is this… Sarah didn’t just join the network, she’s become part of it already. Also… a First in Computing from the OU?? yeah sorry that deserves a little shout on its own because that is NOT easy. Sarah, we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re really glad you’re here!!! Go have a read & do we do best & show Sarah's Profile some love ❤️💫 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sarah-foxleys-member-profile-ugcPost-7457083818966183936-TfEz?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADWSYw8B11kwcug3ivRmsfX4hanoY5yJG7g
