Just want to clear up some confusion: There’s no Donut.js this month, but you still can (and are, in fact, strongly encouraged to) eat donuts and reflect on the ways that technology and humanity affect each other while caring for yourselves and propping up your communities!
🅦🍩🅦! The very first Donut.js was April 2016. The most recent Donut.js was our three-year anniversary! Over the last three years, we’ve had 31 events and 104 talks. 🎊🍩‿🍩🎉
Thank you so so *SO* much to @_colinwilliams_ for recording the talks, to @aaronpk for editing and producing the videos, and to @NextLevelBanana for processing and aligning @stenoknight’s captions our January and February videos. 💙🍩‿🍩💙 WOW we’re so lucky to have these folks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for another wonderful Donut.js! Your attendance, support, and smiles mean everything! AMAZING talks from Kate LaForge, Nisha Kumar (@nishakmr), and Andrew Hedges (@segdeha)! 🌷🍩‿🍩🌷 ☀️
We’ve got Andrew Hedges (@segdeha) telling us about the time in 2014 when he made a decision that cost his employer—Apple—millions of dollars! 😬

Great talk by @nishakmr @donutjs on how the actual real life soft and hard skillz by women who are homemakers apply to the work force. #WomeninTech#womenintech
We’ve got Nisha Kumar (@nishakmr) talk about how taking care of your loved ones at home parallels technical impact.
Here, Nisha points out how housework, while boring, is also invisible to the market: nobody pays you to keep your house clean!

“Where’s the save button?” Kate talks about the importance of software meeting users’ expectations—it may save the form every time you switch fields, but if the user doesn’t know or expect that, it seems like something’s missing and wrong.
