Open source has played an enormous role in getting me closer to my next opportunity or goal. It has been a bridge between the life I have and the life I’m actively working towards.

GitHub Codespaces Add Support for Microservices and Monorepo Projects
GitHub continues to extend its cloud-based development environment Codespaces, aiming to make it more flexible and increase developer productivity. Specifically, the latest release of Codespaces targets teams developing microservices or using a large monorepo.
After introducing prebuilt Codespaces to speed the time required to spin up a development environment, GitHub has been working to make Codespaces better suited to working with multi-repository and monorepo projects and make it easier for larger organization to adopt them.
