Congrats to newcomer @OdellBrewing for winning our Oktoberfest tasting bracket! Thirteen tasters, and they beat out Sam Adams 7-6 in the final! Sam had @TwoBrothersBeer knocked out surprisingly early in the semifinals.

Today I will give a free year of RubyTapas to any woman in software who wants it. DM me your email. No questions asked so long as your Twitter account seems legit. Especially interested in women just getting started. Tell your mentees, your interns, your code school students.

Chicago Product/Engineering leaders, you owe it to yourself to attend Agile Day 2018! This is an excellent one-day, in-town conference that gives you a chance to take a step back and consider how we can better bake agility into products and processes. agiledaychicago.com
