Nothing more validating than listening on the bus someone recommending the shawarma place I have been going to as "the best" to their friend. Damn right it is, the chicken samoon slaps.

Have to say expected NYC subway to be like an oven given my experience on the London underground during hot days. Surprisingly not as bad as I thought and the AC is much stronger.

Big thanks to @www.jvt.me for running the "What story does your dependency tree tell you about your org?" Great tooling on how to manage dependencies and surface up actionable data using dmd! You can catch this workshop at GopherconUK if you are attending!

Never thought I would post how nice a browser is, but highly recommend Zen Browser (based on Firefox). Switched from Firefox the past week and everyday I am finding out useful features! Favorite so far is the built in keyboard shortcuts that act like i3 work spaces.

Thanks to Nandos for hosting the June meetup and of course our very own @lotus-engineer.com for the talk! Nandos chicken was had and discussions on starting small and keep iterating while building a project and error handling proposals being paused as well as new faces to get to know!

Thanks to everyone that made Go Time possible, from learning more about Go to getting to know the amazing community around it! I will miss the unpopular opinions! So as is tradition just before saying goodbye here is my unpop Sparkling water is better than other soft drinks. Goodbye, Go Time <3

It’s very sad to see the end of Go Time. I had a fantastic time doing it. I learned so much, and got to meet so many great people. We had a lot of fun, and a lot of credit goes to the other hosts and the team behind the scenes. Changelog make fantastic podcasts and I can’t wait for what’s next.
