Why we hired someone new
<p>Jon and Justin welcome <a href="https://twitter.com/joshuaanderton"><strong>Joshua Anderton</strong></a><strong> </strong>to the Transistor team! Josh is an amazingly talented full-stack web developer (Laravel, Rails, Tailwind CSS, Alpine, and more!) He's been helping us as a part-time contractor since Oct 2022, and we're excited to have him on board full-time! In this episode, we discuss <strong>why</strong> we hired another person and <strong>how</strong> we think about hiring at Transistor.</p><p></p><ul>
