Thank you, Nubank, for the Github sponsorship! To me, I gather that Nubank is investing in the future of jank because they clearly care about the future of #clojure and its community. I could not be more appreciative. 🩵

Hi friends, I need your help. My contract just got caught in a round of layoffs, so I'm open for short/medium-term fullstack work: Clojure, Rails, React, etc. If you know anyone looking for a senior dev who can ship fast, I'd love to hear about it.

Thank you! 🙏

I was on the Apropos #Clojure show giving a tour of my programmatic #chiptune software.

The audience and hosts were so supportive, I was unprepared for the level of excitement generated just from some simple notes and noises made with code.
