These are terrible times. You may be facing these events head-on as a member of a marginalized group or as an ally, and if you’re a manager, you likely have direct reports who are doing the same.

This just looks interesting to me.
Several of us at PlanetScale used to work at GitHub where we had a culture of building internal tools for our specific needs. One of the more important of these was an app called Team. For over a decade, this simple tool has helped the highly distributed GitHub workforce stay connected.

Shameless plugs
A while back I started a project with Matt Foley for building out a GitHub action that Tweets out to first-time contributors. Here is part 1. Also, no it’s not built in Rust. I hadn’t streamed on my own stream in a while and forgot to update my banner lol. I should probably automate that.

Yes, it’s yet another newsletter folks! I post stuff in Slack and other communities I’m a part of, so instead of losing all those links to the “Slack”hole, I decided to start a newsletter!

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.
