was really cool seeing 
@jacquelinejacquelines ๐, 
@buzzyrobinRobin โฐ(เฒ _เฒ โฟ)โฏ, 
@ailurux, and 
@ErinRoseerin ๐ง shipping Tangara this year and working through all sorts of interesting challenges along the way. shipping and supporting a hardware product is hard work!
on that note, 
@mntmnminute did so much interesting hardware stuff for MNT this year that I have lost track and can't think of any specific thing to point to. it's wild seeing this sort of computing hardware work being done out in the open. I learned a ton just watching it happen.
