April showers bring May flowers.
These flowers May have bugs
Welcome to the first edition of the 500 Mile Email Weekly Round-Up Newsletter
Each Monday, I’ll be sending out a round-up newsletter of all the stories that were added in the previous week. This way, you won’t miss a story!
Also, I’ve revamped the site a little bit. It now supports full posts, so I can showcase stories submitted directly to me. Our first story, submitted way back in May of 2021, originally gave me the idea for full posts on the site and also to kick up a Weekly Round-Up email. Better late than never, right?
I’m also thinking about adding some exclusive content to the newsletter, but I haven’t totally figured that out yet. Maybe a first look at original content?

See You Next Week
I started using Github Copilot this week, and my mind is a bit blown at just how useful it is. I had used the beta, but it wasn’t nearly as good as it is now. Anyone else using it full-time?
If you have a great story or just want to drop a message my way, you can respond to this email, or send me an email at submissions@500mile.email.
Bye! 👋
