Howdy
So over my break I was planning on getting a line of swag going (stickers, coffee cups, hoodies, t-shirts, posters), so people could support the newsletter and get something cool. It would also be part of the referral system. My friend who was going to do all of the designs (same one who does the issue image designs--you can see them whenever you share a link to a previous issue other than this and the last one) had a bunch of life stuff come up so it ended up being put on hold indefinitely (until another designer comes along I guess).
Also if you're using Postgres a decent amount and want to get a better idea of how it works, this is a pretty interesting podcast. Anyway, here's the issue.
PS. This and the last issue won't be live on the site until tomorrow. It appears that some bugs have crawled into my build process and caused a short circuit.
