Just leaving this pinned to my profile for anyone interested in learning about a Project Management tool built by developers for the Video Game Industry.

This was not something I expected to see when opening street view in Rotterdam 😳. Rio? Sure, maybe, but Rotterdam? 🤔

Couldn't let them all go to waste 😅

It was cooked in a badass way too.

So I only contributed in eating the t

It was a bucket of mussels. The event featured over one thousand kilos of them. The attempt was to be the event with the largest mussels serving in the world.

Raphael Zecchin @rsrsecchin.bsky.social · Sep 13

Never thought this would happen but:

[X] participate in a Guiness book of records attempt.

Wasn't in my bucket list, but it was a nice "surprise".

To be fair, all I needed to do was eat one plate of the attempt, but it was fun overall.

At least in the northern hemisphere. If summer is approaching, you can still select the bright mode and keep the shades on for style 😎.

Winter being on the horizon isn't the only reason it's time to put those 🕶️ away.
