«Jason Sobel, chief technology officer for The New York Times, claims – along with other NYT execs — that in-person collaboration is crucial to the company’s success.

But as he insists that our Tech Guild members work in the New York office, Sobel works remotely from his home in, wait for it, Silicon Valley.»

Am I the only person in the world who didn't like "Ministry of the Future”? Was a rare quit before finishing for me.

@annika ISWYDT 😂

Current count of the word "to" in the blog post I'm writing: 40 😱

Is there a commonly-adopted Markdown extension that supports code fences that denotes and varies the format of output separate from the code? Like I do this a lot:

``` sh
$ echo foo
foo
```

I want something that syntax highlights the shell code and not the output. Similar need for SQL query vs rows returned:

``` sql
SELECT version();
version
-----------------
PostgreSQL 16
```

Does *anyone* like the new Slack UX? Maybe it's better for casual users, or users in only one workspace?

@evan Hey Maj!
