Hello Recompilers,
We’re pleased to announce supplements to The Responsible Communications Style Guide! These supplements, Age and Python, are part of our comprehensive resource to help you write and speak to diverse audiences in the most welcoming way.
We also want to draw your attention to Bite Size Networking, a new zine from Julia Evans and the third in her “Bite Size” series. It’s an illustrated introduction to networking principles, aimed at programmers who don’t do networking as their full time job but would like to do it occasionally.
