Right? It does all come down to human needs. Great graphic - Will the talk be recorded?

And that's just premiums. We have to be prepared to spend $14K/year for two of us for out of pocket costs (God forbid anything happens to us that costs that much) and that's in addition to my premiums. Its unsustainable. There's a reason that most bankruptcy in the US due to medical costs.

Me too. What a beautiful vision to cast - not just talk about what needs to change, but what we working toward. It’s important to remember.

“As makers of peace and doers of justice we must not only point out what is wrong in the world but also paint a picture of what is possible.

A constructive vision is the flip side of social criticism.”

One of my tasks is to write docs.

And, some parts of it are kinda "robotic"

So I thought: "Tidewave can help me with that!"

And it did!

Here's how 🧵

Feels pretty surreal to finally be holding the Ash Framework book in my hands. Thank you to everyone (especially @zachdaniel.dev and the team at @pragprog.com) who helped make this happen!
