Don MacKinnon (Mar 31 2025 at 13:58):Congrats on the baby Amal! Was wondering why she wasn't around as much on JS Party over the last year, now it makes sense.
Matthew Sanabria (Mar 31 2025 at 17:40):Love the kids chat at the end. We need more of that.
Jerod Santo (Mar 31 2025 at 17:41):Hah we saved it to the end because we thought folks might want less of that...
Matthew Sanabria (Mar 31 2025 at 19:20):To be fair most people probably do want less of that because they just want to hear tech all the time but it's nice to hear the human side of things. Especially when people say they would have had kids sooner.
valon-loshaj (Apr 01 2025 at 11:28):loved the conversation, tech and non-tech, congrats on the new bebe and on what sounds like an amazing role amal!
