I have been the last one standing on my team like 3 times during my tenure – so even though I’ve been working on the same team for 7+ years, I’m lucky to have worked directly with lots of people who have since moved onto other teams or left the company. https://marioparty.blog/birthday2025/ Fri, 18 Apr 2025 22:40:46 -0400 https://marioparty.blog/birthday2025/ YOURE INVITED TO FIONA’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!

I mostly wrote this to formalize a reference for myself, but I hope it can be helpful for others interested to use git - beginners and experts alike! https://marioparty.blog/birthday2024/ Thu, 18 Apr 2024 22:53:46 -0500 https://marioparty.blog/birthday2024/ update: thanks for coming!!
