🍓 Have you heard of the new strawberry in the market?
OpenAI just dropped their new model, and our lives have once again changed in 2024.
2024 is a crazy year in tech. We saw Devin (anybody know where he is now?), then we saw PHP rising like a phoenix again. We also saw some tech drama unfold on X. Overall, it was an exciting and fun year, and we still have 3.5 months left!
That aside, how are you doing this week? Any new projects or gigs you are working on?
The side project with the girls at CtrlSheClub is almost ready for launch, and I can't contain my excitement!
Enough gossip, let’s get back to business!
