• 949 pull requests merged across 21 repositories • 1,673,705 lines of code written across 12,137 files, roughly 138 copies of Homer's Odyssey 🤯 • 6 teammates had their code merged for the very first time

• 17 of us reviewed each other's work across 59 pull requests • 96 pairs met over three rounds, a different person each day • 10 office hours brought 42 teammates together on personal agents, internal tools, Obsidian setups, and UX principles

• 1,177 replies sent by our Advocacy team, who were building at the same time as everyone else • 535 tacos given (on Slack), which is how we thank each other, and 45 pairs thanked each other back

Additionally, 28 teammates who do not normally work the Customer Advocacy Inbox jumped in with 133 replies, as part of TWST: Team Wide Support Time. We now have 95 tools live on our internal repo now, and 56 of those did not exist on Monday. What a week! 💙
