Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week's been exciting and only going to get more exciting as the days carry on.

Tomorrow, the 24th of February, I'll be participating in a panel with Angie Jones, Daniel Bryant, Stefania Chaplin, and Jonathan Harris on how to debug and fix issues so that it doesn't block production.

Tomorrow, I'll_also_ be streaming on Twitch.tv around noon PST. Join us!
