Where you Ben?

I'm Back (probably)

Hello again valued team members and treasured friends.

I first want to say thank you so, so much to all of you for your support and the outpouring of love over the past few weeks. We are so grateful for all the kind words, the meals, and the many acts of service. It means the world to us. Thank you.

Now, to preserve my reputation as an emotionless stoic, let's get right into it.

Needoh: My gumdrop Needoh broke this past week. It was obviously a great shock to myself and those around me. I'm currently searching for a replacement, so if anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

Claude: I've been able to use Claude Code in my workflow recently. It's both incredibly helpful and outright terrifying. I've found ways that it can help with my projects and it's fascinating to be able to work through designs, problems, and bugs with something that essentially has the internet for a brain. But also the other day I asked for feedback on something and it said "Come on, really?" so I don't trust it and I think I may have made an enemy.

Kevin: Kevin wanted a shout out or something. I don't really remember but for some reason I felt like I had to include him in this week's newsletter. So shout out to Kevin, make sure you're giving him the respect he deserves.

Thanks for tuning in, you guys are great!

- Ben
