      also: if you want to be on Web Dev Challenge, there’s a casting call! codetv.link/wdc/casting-call
      
      also please nominate great devs that haven’t been on the show. it’s important to me that the show includes real representation of industry devs in addition to bringing on recognizable community folks

      one of the hardest things about casting for shows like Web Dev Challenge (aside from the US-only restriction) is deciding how long to wait for a response before asking the next person. I never want to invite someone & then have to rescind because someone else answered faster but also deadlines exist

      Serious question: I’m really trying to shop local only right now and avoid national chains but Tous Les Jours is testing me. Do we have a local Korean bakery equivalent in or close to Minneapolis? I know there’s La Delicious in Maplewood which looks great but, well, it’s in Maplewood
