Really enjoyed being guest on the Happy Path Programming podcast - one of my favourite developer podcasts covering topics beyond the typical "web stuff".

We talked about who Effect is for and what local-first is about. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

Just hit 100 episodes of the Happy Path Programming Podcast! And oh wow, #100 is such a great one! We talked to @dianamontalion about Systems Thinking ("Thinking about Thinking") and what it means for those of us in software.

It was fun to chat with the awesome James and Bruce about the impedance mismatch between what developers need to build and what databases actually support today.

We got each other riled up a bit 😅
