SASHIMISSSS - TechTank takes softball

We started a softball team!!! What started as an idea by some individuals has now become the topic of the summer! We've WON some games, lost some games, and started practice sessions (shout out to our coaches John and Andrew). It's been great fun throughout and we can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds!

🎙 The Butler Brothers - GuppyTalks 🎙

We aired the third episode of our podcast (featuring Ked and John) where we talked about how to approach mentorship and pair programming, what your rubber ducky is, how to reconnect with your curiosity, and so much more.

We also had the chance to go through our guppy-mail for the first time 📫!If you want to send questions for us to answer during GuppyTalks, just use our new slack command /guppymail in any public channel, followed by your question! ✨

🧰 Building a Mini Webpack from Scratch

Such an amazing turnout despite an unexpected city-wide power outage!! As Michael said, one of the best ways to learn something is to sometimes build it some scratch -- so we did! Thanks so much, Michael for taking us on the journey that is web pack - It was such an amazing talk!

Huge thanks to League for hosting us at their stunning venue and for their generous sponsorship, which made the evening of drinks, food, and great conversation possible
