EddieHub Newsletter! I have been so humbled and surprised at the positive reaction the first newsletter got and how you have welcomed Hubber as the new member of the community!
It is amazing to see how many of you want to celebrate the achievements of other community members. This goes to show how inclusive and welcoming the EddieHub community is. And who knew how many pets keep a close eye on what their owners are doing; from sitting on desks, chewing cables to 'typing' on keyboards, they make sure your code is up to scratch!
