I'll be joining Astral from September to work mainly on https://astral.sh/pyx, which the team just announced! Can't wait!
As I'm preparing to leave Meta at the end of this week, it hit me how many friends and connections I've made during my time there - that's definitely the highlight of this past decade. The growth as an engineer is just a cherry on top. I'm grateful.
