In 2015 we met Suleiman Bakhit. We were put in touch to build an app that would help him publish anti-terrorism comics in the Middle East. We helped Sulieman build out some software so he could focus on the core of his missionmaking and distributing comics. He used stories to promote tolerance and human rights. His work continued amidst medical complications that followed from violent attacks. He was a friend and a beacon. In particular, he was focused on helping others, es...pecially kids. He said, in our world, we need a way to talk about the violence that we see. We need something to stand for. I’ll miss being able to talk to him about the world and our hopes. I’ll miss his humor and zeal. He truly believed that the world was going to heal its hurts, that we had a good chance, that we can be more courageous. If you don’t believe in heroes, you will not find them. Not even in yourself. Suleiman Bakhit Suleiman passed away Wednesday, August 14th. He is mourned and missed. May we honor him today and always by continuing his work to help kids feel more love, belonging, and excitement rather than shame. He has left us inspired to be more engaged with people and to be braver. Thank you, Brendan Miller, for the illustration and all of your good work.

Cloud City Development teamed up with 5 Gyres to make an app for documenting trash pickup. 5 Gyres is an incredible company, whose Gulf War veteran founder floated, for three months, from Los Angeles to Hawaii on a raft made of thousands of plastic bottles. #trashtag #trashtagchallenge

Using all available CPUs to crunch data in #Python is notoriously difficult. Here are 5 tips that will help you avoid pitfalls, and write robust applications using Python's multiprocessing module!

Given the latest #password and email breach, check out #unpwn:

We’ve created a library you can use to follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology #password guidelines (and keep your accounts safe) without punishing your users with impossible password guidelines: #unpwn from André Arko.

Even if you write #JavaScript, you might not know about how we get new features added to the language spec. Good news: there's a whole committee for that, and their ideas are open source! Let's take a look at three rad new language proposals in this post from Autumn Crossan.

Good design tools give us more capacity. Material + Sketch = Love

You already know that you should be testing your frontend #JavaScript. We think you should be able to do that without feeling frustrated at your tests! Autumn Crossan shares three quick tips for reducing the pain of unit testing your #React components.

We believe that software solutions can be a force for health and education. Yesterday, our client, Pear Therapeutics, Inc., released reSET an effective FDA-approved digital therapy for substance use disorder (SUD).
