We're looking forward to hearing from everyone this week at Spaces, where we'll be asking/talking/rambling about everything web-related. 😁 Should you put comments in your code? How do you find a job in tech? Is there a practical application for GPT? 🤔 meetup.com/async-web-tech-me…

Join us this Thursday as we wind down for the end of the year with The Async Christmas Quiz! 🥳 This won't be (entirely) a test of your JavaScript knowledge, but more general nerdy questions, trivia, and a few other things just for fun. 😜 meetup.com/async-web-tech-me…

These robots were built to organize parts on a conveyor belt at high speed. Watch as the spindle-armed Delta Robot (right) and compact LR Mate 200iD robot (left) sort and move sets of four batteries with mesmerizing, seemingly-endless rhythm buff.ly/2ZVYkig
