Something that interested me this week

I gave a talk this past week at TheJam.dev! It was really fun and the recording will be up at this link soon. Besides that, I had a lot of stuff going on with family and work, and I felt pretty underwater trying to balance it all. I tried to quell the stress with some reading and started the book Tress of the Emerald Sea, which is really good so far!
