Hi, Spring fans! Look, it's Monday after the first in-person SpringOne of the 2020s and the first since the pandemic, and, being honest, I'm bushed! Vegas is a dizzying, sensational, overwhelming, exciting experience, and SpringOne is too. But it was worth it. The SpringOne show surpassed all expectations, so it was definitely worth it.

Hi, Spring fans! I just crossed 13 years on the Spring team! I just got to spend a lovely day in the presence of one of my heroes and friends, UL Systems founder and chairman, Shigeru Urushibara-san (@ulsystems), here in Tokyo, Japan, and in this episode, we sort of flip the script.
