Me before moving to Berlin: “German is hard? Try me. I’ll be fluent in 6 months. Easy peasy. I’m a master of languages. A queen of the prose.”
Me 4 years later: “Genau”

I never post about this but going to because I am super proud, and this should be talked about more.
Today is my 3 year anniversary of quitting a substance I was addicted to. 3 years in recovery.
I am happy, stable, thriving, and grateful to be alive. ✨3️⃣💗

So here is my first big launch!! 🚀
Currently, we have Discussions for repositories. But today, you can have Discussions on your Organization! Here is a bit on how this was designed and some things I learned.
* Before reading, you should try it out.
A thread 🧵
When we first launched Discussions, we wanted to help teams and communities (including ourselves!) better collaborate, share updates, and gather information. The next evolution of that vision starts today. ✨ github.blog/2022-04-12-whats…
