Last week's newsletter is slowly moving through a series of pipes to a mail box near you: https://tinyletter.com/marianoguerra/letters/future-of-coding-weekly-2020-01-week-2

Just wanna say how much I appreciate the work you put in to doing this, @Mariano Guerra! I know it is quite a commitment to do this kind of thing. Maybe we can crowd-source it somehow to spread the load?

thanks! I built it in a way meant to be crowdsorced, here are the instructions: https://github.com/marianoguerra/future-of-coding-weekly#contribute and for this week https://github.com/marianoguerra/future-of-coding-weekly/issues/5

Thanks Mariano! I love starting my Monday catching up on things I missed here, or being reminded of things I enjoyed the first time around. If you're feeling good about the workload, great! If you need help, let me know or ask openly, since I think this is a great addition to the community.

I have 2 months to think how to handle the newsletter on my vacations 🙂

For items that come from a Slack post, perhaps you could link back to the post, so readers can respond?

great idea!

It’s kind of unfortunate that you need an account to access Slack history. I don’t think of what I say on here as private.

That's probably the #1 most cited reason for us to move away from Slack. Many folks (myself included) dearly want the contributions to this community to be as publicly available and long-lived as possible.

I have been a bit busy and can't get to come here as often as I wish in the past week (and it will continue next one...) so I am very happy to see this newsletter in my inbox today! Thanks a lot @Mariano Guerra 🙂

What happens if I reply here to a 3 year-old thread?

What you'd expect, perhaps?

how did you get to such an old message?

Maybe we can use this as a hack somehow to get old threads back? Trick: Your own "sent" items seem to go right back in time, apart from some random ones that don't (and it's annoying if you hit them cos it jumps just to the channel inline and you have to go back and re-fill the whole scroll on the "sent" page; there's no visible indication that a post of yours will do that). I found out my first post here was 5 years ago!!
