Today was my last day at @fakku.net — my most challenging yet rewarding role to date. Grateful to work with such a talented team to build out the platform.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow as both an engineer and manager.
Very excited for what's next!

Node.js will no longer ship corepack starting from v25.

One surprising insight I came across while speaking to letters is that the job is mostly contract work with freelancers. One of if not the only full-time paying letterer job in the U.S. with benefits is at Fakku. Yes, that Fakku. I spoke with founder @largehotcoffee.com about it.
