I really like the thinking regarding Jr. engineers and a longer view of a productive team! 😊🥳

If so, let's get this on all the starter packs and start building his audience to sweeten the deal. 🙂

With as much work as I put into the illustrated talks it'd be nice to give them more than once. Have a Ruby event or conference and need something fun? Give me a ping, and I can bring some lemurs along for the ride.

@mb21: I have a question: can the Forest work if you’ve got overwhelmingly junior developers in your team?
Absolutely! Lean further into learning & experiments. You're going to miss a few demos. Impose relaxation, since they won't know how to regulate.
A year in the Forest is better than a MS.
