What happened last week

First of all, I migrated from Revue to Substack. I got used to writing in Revue, but the current owner seems a bit chaotic, so I decided to move all I have to a bit calmer place.

Last week was terrific for me. At Kinsta, I was responsible for launching our first-ever Code Challenge. During the next 14 days, we will post different tasks about Static Site Generators.

If you want to be a part of it, take a look at the Tweet below:
