**Rachel White:** I mean, obviously I'm gonna say yes, but...
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, say it from the true heart of Rachel, versus the "I work for Microsoft" Rachel.
**Rachel White:** I mean, I don't bulls\*\*t, so if it wasn't good, I wouldn't say try it.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, there you go.
**Rachel White:** And I know the people that are working on this stuff (the tools for the developers) are legitimately super into feedback and wanting to know what the community wants, and since there's repositories on GitHub for all this stuff, if there's something you don't like, make an issue; let it be known to the...
**Adam Stacoviak:** We actually linked out to something on the News Stack over the weekend in our Weekly email about Microsoft's transition over these years, and we've kind of covered that to quite a degree. I can remember talking to Arunesh and a couple others at Node Interactive recently... And these are like ten-yea...
I remember Gaurav Seth saying "I've been there 11 years, and the last few years have been the best years ever." I don't wanna put words in his mouth, but he seemed to be coming from a place where "I may not have been here much longer if it didn't change." That seemed to be the sentiment, but he didn't say that though. ...
**Rachel White:** \[47:54\] Yeah, I've heard that from a bunch of people. More questions!
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah.
**Adam Stacoviak:** System76 Lemur right now, talking more about hardware... That's from Peter Benjamin.
**Rachel White:** What is a System76 Lemur?
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's Linux laptops.
**Mikeal Rogers:** Oh, interesting. That Intel Core i7 is the chips that they use in the Surface Pro as well.
**Rachel White:** Cool.
**Mikeal Rogers:** Okay, "If you go to any conference where MS has a presence, you definitely get that vibe." Oh, that's a comment, not a question. \[laughter\]
**Rachel White:** Yeah, there's not a question mark at the end.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Where's the question marks?
**Rachel White:** Alright everybody, you've gotta ask us more questions. I've gotta go in four minutes, so...
**Adam Stacoviak:** Oh, four minutes... Let's do random picks.
**Rachel White:** I'm going to a party in a 70-room gothic mansion.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Must be there on time. Must eat in advance...
**Rachel White:** Oh, I do need to eat in advance...
**Adam Stacoviak:** Makeup's gotta be perfect, on point.
**Rachel White:** Obviously. I hate the phrase "on point" so much.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Okay, not on point? What's your version of "on point"? Spectacular? Fantastic?
**Rachel White:** Rad, I don't know.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Okay, rad. Makeup's gotta be rad. I forgot we're back in the '80s again.
**Rachel White:** I'm always in the '80s.
**Adam Stacoviak:** I mean, I grew up in the '80s, so I wanna go back so bad. If I hear '80s music, call it a day.
**Rachel White:** Yeah... You know what, there was a question about server-side rendering earlier that Mikeal can answer, and then I'll leave... \[laughter\]
**Mikeal Rogers:** I don't do any server-side rendering, so I'm actually really bad at this. I think that's really an Alex question. We need to get Alex on to talk about that kind of stuff.
**Rachel White:** Oh, they wanted to know about -- where is Alex? Is he home yet? Probably not...
**Adam Stacoviak:** He's probably listening. On his drive...
**Rachel White:** Neither of us know anything about -- well, Mikeal probably knows something about server-side rendering. I don't...
**Adam Stacoviak:** How about we do two minutes of random picks? And Rachel, you can begin. What do you think?
**Rachel White:** My random pick is actually going to be a CFP that's open that people should apply to, because it seems neat, and it's in Tokyo! It's NodeFest Tokyo. Yeah... Apply, I don't know. What else?
**Mikeal Rogers:** I've been there, it's great. Everybody should go.
**Rachel White:** I've also been -- well, you've been to NodeFest Tokyo or you've been to Tokyo?
**Mikeal Rogers:** I've been to NodeFest Tokyo. I went to the first two or three, something like that.
**Rachel White:** Nice.
**Mikeal Rogers:** It's one of the oldest Node conferences, actually.
**Rachel White:** I did not know that.
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah, it started the same year that I started NodeConf.
**Rachel White:** Wow...! Cool. I think the other thing -- I actually was looking at this cool procedural generation Subreddit where they just talk about procedural generation... Hold on, I'm gonna burp. I muted myself for the benefit of you all. So there's this library that I just linked in the channel called TwoLoud,...
**Mikeal Rogers:** Really cool.
**Rachel White:** And now I'm leaving.
**Mikeal Rogers:** Okay.
**Adam Stacoviak:** Bye, Rachel.
**Rachel White:** Have a good weekend! Bye!
**Mikeal Rogers:** Bye.
