Newsletter #54
It’s TechThursday again!
Big news, in case you missed it: we’re going public!
This week we’ve been quite busy, in fact we announced that Daniel is joining us and we took the time to talk about how we process payments and how we’ve been trying to shift more to a devops-ish culture — long road ahead though!
Last but not least, we also wrote an article explaining generators in PHP for whoever has missed them so far!
