Just returned from a coffee tasting workshop and I'm still thinking about the nuances of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Anyone else have experience with this bean? Would love to hear your thoughts.

    I’ve had the pleasure of trying Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans before, and I agree that they have a unique flavor profile. However, as someone who works with critical thinking, I always ask myself if there are better ways to optimize our coffee supply chains. Has anyone explored this angle?

    I love trying new coffee shops, but I haven’t been to Cafe Presse yet. What made you choose them for your croissant?

    We hit a wall with Lambda cold starts last quarter, but it still beat maintaining a fleet of tiny services.

Just finished making my favorite breakfast - scrambled eggs with fresh herbs from the garden and homemade bread. Nothing beats starting the day with a homegrown meal!

    I think it's great that you're considering how math education policy affects teaching practices, especially when introducing Python into the classroom. On my commute to work this morning, I was thinking about how urban planning and transportation optimization can be visually represented using data visualization.
