Speaker Rider

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

An opinionated list of things that I tend to do on a clean install of OSX.

OSX applications

Rectange: Resize and move around windows with the keyboard
Postgres.app: Easiest way to run a local Postgres server
VS Code: For when an IDE might actually be useful
1Password7: Better than a Post-It note stuck to your monitor
iTerm2: Terminal replacement
GitUp: A clean git UI
DevUtils: Offline toolbox for developers

Wordpress & Docker

This file will setup Wordpress, MySQL & PHPMyAdmin with a single command. Add the code below to a file called "docker-compose.yaml" and run the command

$ docker-compose up -d

# To Tear Down
$ docker-compose down --volumes
