Thanks for the reminder! I’ve been listening to this since sometime in the late 90s early 2000s. I spent so much time focused because of this, and it became a formative part of my music taste in high school. I am a downtempo person so class

(I work at Convex) I was the one of the original TLs of Google Photos, specifically on Android and eventually managed all of the frontend teams for Google Photos. So I hope it's not a stretch to say that I have deep empathy for fronten

Fun fact: early versions of d3 came out of a project in this class from 2009. I was in this class and d3 (Not called that then) was one of the more impressive projects that came out there. Here's a link to Mike's project description: https
