There are many events across the central belt and online this week for technology enthusiasts. GeoMob Edinburgh returns on Tuesday, as does Ladies of Code Glasgow. .NET Edinburgh is on Wednesday, and inFORM Glasgow (run by Fraser Merrifield) is doing their first daytime meetup.

From Scotland-based tech bloggers, streamers and vloggers this week:

• Olly (former CTO of Freeagent) posted a video from 2024 discussing his CTO journey
• Daniel posted about using Jest Snapshots to improve React Native testing on the AddJam blog
• Chris posted a video on taking hardware silk screen to the next level with his ESP32 Rainbow recreation of the ZX Spectrum
• Daniel livestreamed tracking down performance gains in Nuxt
• Owain (organiser of the .NET meetup) resumed blogging on the dev-life balance
