I kickstarted my own stream again. I was in a good groove for a bit, but other things got me busy the past little while.

I'm looking to stream more frequently again outside of the DEV Twitch stream. With that said, today's stream was a fun one even though we had to cut it short.

Matt Foley joined me on the stream to talk a bit about GitHub actions and then we started to work on our project, a GitHub action to Tweet congrats to first time contributors that have a Twitter handle in their Github profile.

You can catch the full stream here. And of course, since it's the first time running my own stream in a while, I goofed on the audio. You can't hear me for the first few minutes. 🙃

Thanks for joining me Matt!
