Excited for this. Major features for Helm 4 are now locked in as of the first alpha, but there's still time to help refine and harden before the full release. Read this short overview of the release phases and how you can help make Helm 4 the best one yet 🫶🙌

Saw old friends and made some new ones too 🫶 Really looking forward to visiting Guatemala again! 🇬🇹

I had the idea to do the talk with Spanish translation one sentence at a time. Sergio Méndez offered to translate with me side-by-side on stage. It was really fun, the audience was super engaged, and I think folks got a lot out of it 🙌

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's Scott Rigby!

Could be Helm, could be Flux, could be co-organizing KCD New York or coming down to KCD Guatemala where I'll be in June, Scott has got so many community things going on I don't know how he keeps track of it all.

Onward!

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:
