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.

From my old coworker, JF who I don’t believe is on Twitter, so just calling out the credit for the share and also lol. This one goes out to everyone who unfortunately has to observe daylight saving time.

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

Words of Wisdom for the Week
90% of my job as a senior engineer is giving others the confidence to go with the less-impressive-but-simpler approach.

Shameless plugs
I got to hangout with Andrea and bdougie on the GitHub community Twitter Space this past Friday. Lots of great convos around GitHub actions and the GitHub actions hackathon
This week on the DEV Twitch stream we had our wonderful co-workers from the community success team join us. If you want some insights on what it’s like to run a community, you’ll definitely want to check this one out.
I’ve teamed up with Matt Foley who I met in our stream chat when bdougie was on and now we’re building out a GitHub action! Follow our journey on the live stream and our GitHub repository.
