In episode 27, the panel discussed what languages are, what it means to know things, and what meaning is. In this bonus episode, we extend that conversation to discuss how language affects the tech...

What happened in the week of 2025-06-30?

I've got a 2015 t-shirt if you want some photos? Not sure if they can be any higher quality than the ones you've already found but happy to help if I can!
Between 2014 and 2022, DigitalOcean sent free t-shirts to developers who completed the Hacktoberfest challenge. For entirely sensible reasons related to sustainability and spammy entrants, they stopped doing physical merchandise in 2023. I'm the sort of hip fashionista who only wears free conference t-shirts. GDS@GDSTeamWe support open source. And weāve got the t-shirts to prove it (thanks @ā¦
