Hi Folks,
In this edition of Adventures in Nodeland, I’ll try to do my part and help folks in need after the massive layoffs in tech. I also include the links to my latest videos in case you missed them, with two streams and a new tutorial. Rember to scroll down to releases and articles too, as there are a few notable links!
