Hi friends, happy Easter! 🐣 I hope you got to spend some beautiful time with family. On my end, I spent the day with my kids—egg hunting, lots of laughs, and a much-needed reset. Now I’m getting ready for next week at HumanX… and we’re hosting our most fun event yet at SPIN SF with you.com. We’re running a 5-round ping pong tournament 🏓 with a Mac Mini giveaway for each winner. We already have top engineers and executives from Meta, NVIDIA, Google, and every FAANG company joining—so it’s going to be a special one. Hope to see you there ✨
