We had a couple of great guests the past two weeks on the DEV Twitch stream. First up, we had Jonathan Creamer from Microsoft. We discussed frontend infrastructure, open source, and a term he coined, divops.
This week we had Will Johnson on the stream. We talked about dev rel, content creation, Framer Motion, Will’s new course on Framer Motion, and RenderATL and all the satellite projects associated with it.
Thanks to both of you for joining us!

So welcome to links to cool and interesting stuff I found on the Internet during the week, with some fun stuff too, and shameless plugs.
