Pondering Emerging Tech

Instead of thinking about the short term, let's have some fun over our holiday break and learn about all the exciting technologies that seems be exploding all at once.

Project F Talent Partner Pledge

Speaking at meetups is a great way to enhance your job search, but it can be daunting for first timers. Debbie has shared her experience of being a first time speaker, so you know what to expect.

Lookahead's Pledge 1% commitment

Pledge 1% is a global movement of founders who pledge to give 1% of profit, product, time, equity. We pledged many years ago and I finally write more about it here.

ReactConf AU 2020

The first ReactConf AU was a huge success, and very lucky with the timing. Steve was part of the organising committee and writes about the event here.

Volunteer Day - Revitalising Sir Joseph Banks Park

We believe in volunteering and giving back at Lookahead. JP spent a day helping revitalise Sir Joseph Banks Park, a significant nature reserve on the Botany foreshore in South Sydney NSW.

CampJS X, 2019 - Broken Bay

I knew CampJS was going to be entertaining when it took 2 days to convince my colleague Shaila that unlike her experience of school camp in the UK, we would NOT be staying in a hotel.

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”
