NOTE: Keep an eye on the chapter art for the pictures under discussion. In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal , we were joined by Oxide Colleagues Elliott Donlon, Brooks Willis, Doug Wibben, and Ben Williams. Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them: Topic [@M:SS](link into recording) Leventhal's Conundrum PRs needed! If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar .
