@round Had a whole conversation about that while watching the latest episode

Today a front end dev told me my mustache has "gained a lot of margin and padding" since he last saw me. I... think... that's a compliment?

For my first conference of the year, #config, I shaved my beard into a mustache. For Cisco's #dzone, I stepped it up with handlebars.

Sometimes I have trouble pinpointing what it is I like so much about design systems, but after spending the last hour arguing whether a selectable list item is a radio button I realized I'm a professional "are pop tarts ravioli?" guy
