I'm as excited as I am honored to be live for the first Angular Space Meetup. Don't even know how to summarize it better than this quoted post (copy in comments), but we will hit all these topics on signals, live! See you there, with host @armandotrue.bsky.social !

When I try to recall a particular take from the Angular team, 50% of the time when I google it, it's something well said by Jeremy. Inevitable with this track record. May good luck follow him on his next path.
A personal update!
This month marks my 11th anniversary of working on Angular. I've been privileged to collaborate with some incredible engineers and genuinely kind, thoughtful people. I'm proud of the work we've done and the community that has grown around the framework over the years.
