Life update: after almost 9 years, I'm leaving Google. It feels very bittersweet, as I've met and learned from so many lovely, smart people in my career here. But it's time to go. I'll be joining Airbnb in the new year.

I lot of folks joining so I made a starter pack. It’s non-exhaustive, I like too many people here. This should help get people going though:

Suggestion: If you are in a position to ensure that trans folks are able to work from locations where they feel safe, now is a good time to work on that.

The new afterRender API in 16.2 is big news for Angular SSR! It’s easier than ever to write client-only code without having to use DOM emulation. We’d love feedback on this new feature! Read more: https://t.co/hfCj6wQhQS

Better CSS inlining for SSR users is coming in Angular 16.1! We've worked with Angular to integrate a new version of Critters that improves runtime performance and adds flexibility to finetune the generated CSS.
See new feature docs starting here: https://t.co/JlJ7fcDVP5
