Something that interested me this week

This was a very fun and busy week this week for me! I had several sets of friends come into town, which made for some great restaurant trips and intense board gaming.

In terms of content, some new episodes of the Stack Overflow podcast came out this week (in case you missed it, I joined on as a host a few months back), I wrote up a blog post on using the newly released Next.js 12 on Netlify, I had a fun segment at the GitHub Universe conference, and of course, I made one or two memes.

Joke

I just found out that a friend of mine is a ghost. Although, to be honest, I had my suspicions from the moment they walked through the door.

That's all for now, folks! Have a great week. Be safe, make good choices, and stay spooky!
