Don't Slack off this Wednesday

Hello Baltimore, I hope you're well this Monday eve. In case you haven't remembered yet, we're unveiling the winners of this year's Technical.ly Awards on Wednesday!
 
We'll be kicking things off at noon via our public Slack — which happens to be a great resource year-round with many channels devoted to our markets, professional connections, regular distractions and more that any technologist or tech-adjacent professional can find useful. (I'm especially a fan of our #music and #random channels.) But for now, just click the graphic below this text to learn more and sign up. 
 
This is one of the Technical.ly team's last major projects before we close up shop for a break between roughly Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. I won't lie and say the holidays aren't on my mind right now. So I ask you: What're your company's holiday plans? Are you taking an org-wide break, just giving the federal holidays off or something in between? Let us know by emailing [email protected]. 
 
— Technical.ly editor Sameer Rao ([email protected])
