The past 7 months have been quite the journeyâI made some huge blunders and some huge accomplishmentsâa very fun time overall.
I really appreciate the people who took the time to perform code review for my refactoring shenanigans: **christopherfujino**, **andrewkolos**, **LongCatIsLooong**, **gspencergoog**, **loic-sharma**, **Piinks**, **bernaferrari**, **bartekpacia**, **bleroux**, **kevmoo**, **rakudrama**, **XilaiZhang**, **QuncCccccc**, **MominRaza**, and **victorsanni**.
And a huge shoutout to 2 individuals:
- @justinmc, for offering to sponsor me for commit access (words could not describe my excitement)
- @goderbauer, for being super duper proactive and consistent with code review

From now on, I'll make sure to request a test exemption for each refactoring PR ð
