Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How're you? I almost forgot today was Tuesday! Here in the US, we had a three day weekend for President's day, and also I've been streaming for a few hours every day (or almost every day on my little YouTube channel) so the days kinda have blurred together. I'm so glad I caught a glimpse of the calendar or I might have missed this installment. We've got a ton of stuff to get to this week so let's dive right into it!

Also: next week I'll be in Dallas! Let me know if you wanna grab some code and coffee?
