Happy Sweet 16 to the Pull Request. Unfortunately my first public PR was kind of disappointing

Really sad to hear about the passing of @hughes_meister I'll always remember him as someone who inspired me professionally. One of those people you come across in your career that makes you infinitely better by setting a high bar https://t.co/7unttS7IZ3

After posting this, X told me to engage with my timeline so they can make sure I'm a human. I mean, makes sense. I've only been a user since January 2008, you can never be too careful.

For my @strangeloop_stl talk submission, I was having trouble writing a punchy abstract. So I asked ChatGPT for help. It was an interesting experience!

This is a great idea, wish I'd thought of it!
BUT! This means I have a ticket to @strangeloop_stl that I don't need. Who should I give it to? Nominate people you think should be going who still haven't committed (even yourself)

Strange Loop is my favorite conference that I have never been to. I had a ticket in 2015 but had to cancel for reasons.
