Hey, I’m Bethany, currently doing devrel at Microsoft.
Fun fact: I’m a house cat, but you’ll find me hiking or ticking off my bucket list when I venture out.
Currently, I’m diving into African Literature, Psychology, AI, and fiction.

I am a haphazard creature. Sometimes a creature of habit and sometimes I just want to break free and be let go. Habits, sometimes, might seem to tie me down in creating and rigidity. I do not do well with schedules, heck I spent most of my high school life asleep on my desk because the repetitiveness of it all was just numbing. Also, I used it as an escape. ...
the endless desire to fix everything or run away Whenever I face a challenge, I try my best to resolve the issue. It mainly stems from my desire to fix things. To ensure things are whole. And I am always able to fix things. I was always able to get solutions to everything. Until I could not. And the challenge was not some big project in the wild like fixing capitalism. ...
I really threw this page away, huh! In my defense…. I really hate being that person who’s always saying sorry always apologizing. I also hate being inconsistent…but consistency keeps slipping through my fingers. To be fair, I’ve never truly been consistent. Right now, I’m back to basics learning, re-learning, and trying to create again. And let me tell you: creating content is rough. So far, I’ve managed to put out three newsletters, I’m on video three in my fun demo series, but I haven’t posted a single blog here since February. Or March since I deleted the last blog. ...
my not so pointless, rant 😅 You remember those motivational speakers from back in the day? The ones who defined life for us and expected us to just get it? Well, I expect you not just to get but to relate to this opener: Life is a huge heap of laundry. It doesn’t stop. It doesn’t even pause. One day you’re washing, the next you’re folding, and before you know it another pile of dirty clothes is waiting for round two. The cycle never ends. ...
🛠 I have the workshop; you just need to try it out and tell me what you think! I recently converted my workshop from Azure AI to GitHub Models, and it will be globally used as introductory content for the Global AI Bootcamps all over the world in ~125 locations. One of the biggest advantages of using GitHub Models is it provides every GitHub user access to some leading models from Azure AI Model Catalog, allowing you to experiment, test and compare models before you get them to production. Another plus of using GitHub Models is you only need to create your personal token to get started and going - no complicated setup, no friction. Using GitHub Models is free until you hit the rate limits of the different models. ...
📶 and it’s basically the only Social media platform I use…. P.S. WhatsApp & Snapchat don’t count since they’re basically messaging apps, not social media. Before you come at me with pitchforks, hear me out. I did a social media audit, and let’s just say…it was bad. Really bad. So bad that I can’t even share the results publicly it’s that embarrassing. But the nature of my work requires me to be active on social media, because, well…my work can’t speak for itself. ...
💡 What if the only way to achieve perfection is completing your own damn work? For the longest time, I’ve been staring at blank pages. The idea of perfection in my head seems impossible to achieve in real life, leaving me frozen, unable to start. Time and again, I find myself struggling to take that first step. My process always starts with endless planning. It begins with a spark something lights up in my brain, like my idea for a newsletter. Then I create list after list: topics I want to cover, actions needed to bring the idea to life. Gradually, I designed the whole newsletter layout. Yet a year later, all I have is a Substack page with nothing but a “launching soon” sign. ...
