Well I haven’t tweeted in a minute. Since Helene, I’ve been tethering on my phone ever since for work and it’s been a struggle joining meetings. I’ll tell you what never stops though: GitHub notifications.

Hey @commonsweden attendees. Sorry I missed giving the majority of my talks. I got sick very suddenly. Please feel free to DM me and I will send you the slides and content from what I didn’t present. In the next few days, I will share the slides on my GitHub too.

Debating whether I should get back into live streaming little open source things I work on. Usually something dev tools related, or maybe some Godot here and there (I’ve been wanting to try and make a big game for a while)
