Congrats on getting this content recorded and into the wild. Will be sure to get involved

Great thank you!
Out of curiosity what did you need this kind of content for?
reply
Personal projects.
To get the confidence and context to be able to create new experimental tools. Spent some time forking existing repos and tinkering, but nothing has stuck and felt flexible enough for a non-dev dev.
May still need a seasoned veteran to partner with and get it over the line, but way more fun building into the early hours and understanding most of what is under the hood.

Awesome!

I do free 1:1 sessions weekly with plebdevs so would definitely be willing to help you plan out an MVP for your project or just help with any blockers.

I know how to code but I refrain from offending any actual developers by claiming to be one.
I build my own sites, apps, science experiments, and work in software as a technical PM. But the dev work is what excites me most.

The definition of a plebdev!
1000x better being a noob than to be on the sidelines 🤝
