On a call today with a group of folks shooting the shit before the meeting started...

Producer: "I just turned 22 a few months ago."
*a moment of silence*
Me: "In a few months I'll be 22 years older than you."

Things I didn't expect to ever say in a meeting. I feel old.

Much thanks. We've been trying to zero in on what matter most on the homepage especially since we've been around too long to list everything we can do so this was the result. Not like we get much organic traffic to it, but at least it gives a gist to folks who get referred to us.

As professional maintainers we can invest in making our projects safer and more reliable. To that end, here's a draft of the Geomys Standard of Care.

It covers general maintenance, stability & reliability, dependency management, account and CI security, vulnerability handling, licensing, and more.

Making an effort to track my training more often outside of spreadsheets. blainsmith.com/training/

I will eventually convert this over to using fitlanguage.org, but it is good enough for now.
