The @commityourcode.bsky.social Pickleball event for Day[0] was a HUGE SUCCESS!

We even had a pickleball pro guiding newer players with a group lesson! I guess you could say it was a... Smashing success 😂 pun absolutely intended!

Also this shirt by Jake is actually amazing 😂😂😂

The bright facility has blue and yellow walls, tall white pillars, and high ceilings with overhead lights."

A group of people lined up side by side on an indoor pickleball court, holding paddles and waiting for their turn to play. The facility has bright blue walls with large yellow accents, tall white pillars, and high ceilings with overhead lights. Some people are playing on nearby courts in the background.

Danny with Jake and his shirt explained in the next photo

Close-up of a novelty black T-shirt with the word 'PickleBall' at the top in blue letters. The shirt features two illustrated faces of men looking surprised at a large blue pickleball in the center. The ball has pink text that reads, 'I WENT TO CYC & HAD A BALL.' Below, the tagline says, 'If you can code a pickleball… you can pickleball a code.'

You must diff it
Before the PR lives too long
You must diff it
When merging is going wrong
