My bff just gave me the most amazing present. She painted a bit of my electronic music studio and made it into a magnet! This has to be one of my all-time favorite gifts.

This article by @anildash squarely hits in the feels, names and articulates what's happening in the tech industry, and points towards pragmatic things we can do.
