The SaaS Pegasus Black Friday sale is live! The unlimited license is 50% off ($500 savings).
This is a rare deal. I don’t believe in the growth hack thing of having fake discounts running perpetually. I only do sales once a year.
If you've been thinking about grabbing Pegasus, this is the time.

🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people.
🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event!
💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Good day to ask your CEO why your company isn't on this billboard too
A year ago, @sentry.io launched the Open Source Pledge, with one singular goal: get maintainers paid.
A key pillar of the Pledge is it’s not a “pledge”, like an IOU. Rather, to join the Pledge, members come with receipts. Here’s why.
