# Week ending 2026-04-05 (Week 14)

I was traveling this week 🐣 so I was less available than usual. My main priority was to support Jacob with anything needed for the upcoming security release 🦸, helping keep things on track during a critical phase. I also made an effort to stay on top of inbox and notifications, though seeing my current unread count I can confirm I have failed miserably 😞.
