🔥 Scott Pence is starting a newsletter, and I highly recommend signing up. He is the kind of person who energizes you to do and be more by virtue of his learning adventures and witnessing how active he is.

I remember when Scott joined Chingu a few years ago. His industriousness reminded me of the wonderful [Florin Pop](https://medium.com/u/d5b5242a7176) (and for those who know Florin, you know that is big compliment).

You can signup for the [newsletter here](https://scottspence.com/newsletter/).

🔥 Throwback project: Here is a past team project by jffy, Fabien, Liviu! [They built a Spotify clone](http://spiffy-mountain.surge.sh/browse/featured).

🔥 As always, we’re matching people for pair-programming sessions this week. Checkout #chingu-news in Discord to find the link to sign-up!
