@robmanuel Riffing to find something *slightly* more memorable: Roll 2 dice - if both 6s try again - else if die 1 is a 6, it's a G - else look at die 2's value: 123456 = ABCDEF (Alphabetical 1-6=A-F feels like a quicker mapping in my brain but I'm no musician)

A lot of exceptionally talented folks from the Polaris team are no longer at Shopify today. These people have levelled up crafters, orgs and platforms through our Design System. :legends: @JFann @RaquelDesigns @timlayton Natasha Lloyd, JJ Galipeau, Gui Santos

@philnash @astrodotbuild @typescript If you're going to have lots of yml files then you can instead create a .d.ts file for all yml files. Create a file-types.d.ts somewhere in your tsconfig's includes (project root is probably fine): ``` declare module '*.yml' { const yaml: any; export default yaml; } ```

@philnash @astrodotbuild @typescript Create an appearances.yml.d.ts next to appearances.yml. In it place the following, filling out the Appearances interface as you see fit: ``` interface Appearances {} declare const appearancesYaml: Appearances; export default appearancesYaml; ```

I spent some time working with Julia and every moment was a delight. If anybody is hiring in the US for remote Staff eng roles that can transfer a H-1B visa, you should speak to her

Using pruvisto.org/debirdify/ to hunt for folk I follow with Mastodon handles in their bio already and bulk importing them is a pretty seamless experience.
