I became a Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster! I took a training course with Agile Mentors last week and learned how to do Scrum the right way 🙌

We wrapped up a project that makes it easier for our community managers to run moderator elections on our Stack Exchange sites. While these changes don't impact users directly, it frees up a lot of time for our community managers, letting them accomplish more.

I gave an internal engineering technology talk about Blazor, a .NET feature for building client-side interactive websites in C#.

I recorded a marketing video for our Stack Overflow for Teams product where I explained how it helps me in my day-to-day engineering job at Stack Overflow. This was the first time I've helped record a video like this before!

I got to talk about the April Fools prank at Stack Overflow on the podcast! I explained how I developed the prank and was joined by Cassidy Williams who explained how the physical keyboard was built. I got to reveal the astonishing fact that 1 in 4 visitors copy from Stack Overflow. It was a ton of fun!

I pranked millions of Stack Overflow users with our prank - a paywall on copying from Stack Overflow! When users tried to copy from a question or an answer, they would get a prompt that they only had two copies remaining. If they clicked into the warning, they'd see a marketing popup for "The Key" by Stack Overflow - a keyboard that you could only copy and paste with given it only had the keys `Ctrl`, `C`, and `V`

The prank was immensely successful and a lot of fun. It was amazing seeing all of the reactions on Stack Overflow, Twitter, and Reddit.
