Then a huge one for @runarorama and his "Constraints Liberate, Liberties Constrain" which is the most influential talk I ever watched. I keep finding myself referencing it almost every week and it hugely affected my thinking about software design. #ScalaThankYou

In case someone is wondering about the timing, the PR was stuck for a few days due to an issue with our CI. Once we fixed the CI, the bot rebased the PR (of course)

Cats 2.0.0 is released. The major version is bumped mainly because we broke binary compatibility on cats-laws (together with alleycats and cats-testkit), but the core modules: cats-cores and cats-kernels remain binary compatible with Cats 1.x.
Kudos to all contributors!

Quotes today from an ops colleague outside the FP bubble:
"Remember those Scala codebases? I miss them, they never went down"
"...had 100s of null pointers in the logs in this JS app. Never had one with the FP ones"
"...this Scala app, launched & didn't go down in 8 months"

Every time Git/Github/continuous integration/etc causes me to need to push a vacuous commit to trigger something I do a doc update instead.
