Nader sums up this podcast episode pretty well in the Tweet above. It’s linked in his Tweet, but I dropped the main StackOverflow podcast page for this episode below.

I’m looking forward to more X-Men cartoons even though we need to wait until 2023.

I’ve always loved basketball. I was all about basketball in high school. I was doing all kinds of jumping exercises in my living room, brushing my teeth and writing with my left hand, and just on the court a lot. Was I amazing? No, but I will give myself some cred. I used to be able to grab the rim even at 5’ 7". Why is this in the newsletter? I recently watched a couple of documentaries on a couple of Chicago Bulls players, my favourite team. They’re really great watches if you’re a sports fan or b-ball lover.

If you love basketball, this is a great documentary on Toni Kukočhttps://t.co/rfVAa5LzYt
