A breaking change is happening for many developers in 5.27.7, it seems; I'm still learning about this one, and what it'll mean for my own coding. Lots of comments--get involved, and talk to the core devs you know!

The fastest growing economy in the world is currently Ethiopia, with a projected growth in GDP of over 8% this year.

If you’re currently a senior full stack developer looking to take on your next role as an architect then this is a great opportunity to do so in a company that is both ambitious and supportive. Increased job satisfaction is another perk, as their codebase is notably new and clean and the team are committed to using modern practices.
