This post is about the changes, maybe unnoticeable to some, that we as a community have made over the past year. In 2019, we realised that we had a lot more ambitions than we first thought.

Our newest interviewee, Griet Van Loo is a software developer who's trying to combine her work with running a household, a social life and keeping her cats alive. She keeps herself busy with putting things on her bucket list and trying to complete them, sadly not always at the same rate.

Our interviewee this month is Zeynep, a woman, mother, wife, teacher, refugee, student and developer. Always pushing the boundaries to be the best version of herself.

Elke Heymans is a front-end developer with a strong interest in a variety of web technologies and who's currently focusing on everything Vue related. In her spare time, you can find her taking photographs at events, training for half marathons, or enjoying music by collecting records and attending concerts when there's no pandemic.
