Happy Friday! Someone in the office the other day mentioned it being spring and I was like “Spring, where?” I don’t care what that groundhog saw, this rain and cold winds are killing the vibe. ANYWAY, here are some links to keep us warm over the weekend:
- @cori gave an update on our continued work in upgrading containers. We appreciate your patience as we chip away at this work!
- I posted a note about spam and flagging posts on the forum in response to an increase in AI-generated spam. The machines, they love the forums.
- It’s a new month, which means a new Glitch Community Code Jams prompt
- Is it windy by you too? Here’s a cool wind map to show you: https://chipped-kindly-larkspur.glitch.me/
I want to close out this open thread with a note for/about @keithk. Today’s his last day at Glitch after a whopping 5 years here! Yesterday, a bunch of us got together to one-by-one say very nice things about him, to him, and I just can’t ever pull it together enough to contribute to those kinds of goodbye gatherings without bawling my eyes out in front of everyone, so I’m going to do it here where you can’t see me cry.
One of the top highlights of my career was hiring Keith when I was leading the .com (community site) engineering team. Very shortly after, I put him in charge so I could grow our support and community efforts and because I knew he’d do 100x a better job at managing the .com team than I ever could. That takes a lot of trust and collaboration, which is especially hard in the ambiguous and chaotic world of tech startups, but it’s always been easy with Keith. I’ll always remember, value, and hold as a model our partnership over those 5 years and I can’t wait to see what he creates on Glitch as a community member without admin privileges on here. I did give him mod though, so watch yourselves
