I probably have a bunch of typos and incomplete sentences all over the place, but I've been working on this basically for weeks in the midst of handling DV crap. Hopefully ready to submit soon.

Very sad news about Rainer, who passed away earlier this week. If you can help support #ALS research please consider donating.
My thoughts are with his family. We as a C++ community were lucky to have him.

So we're outsourcing initial job interviews to AI now? You'd think all the productivity gains would free up humans for the important things, like interviewing our future co-workers.
At this pace, every candidate will need their own interview bot to keep up. Soon, bots will be interviewing bots.

My recommendation for anyone wanting to write their first tech book is: multiply your expectations of how much effort it will take by *at least* 3.
"But I have realistic expectations" - cool, multiply them by 3
"It can't be that bad" - sweet summer child, multiply them by 10

UPDATE: stdexec gets native support for ASIO!
HUGE community contribution from github user @RobertLeahy, an expert in both ASIO and std::execution.
With the new `use_sender` completion token, ASIO's async APIs return senders. Now you can program generically with async network operations!
