| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? We've got a hack week overview for you today. So Sentry has a |
| 0:06.6 | entire week as every single year. It's called Hackweek. And during Hackweek, you are allowed to go |
| 0:12.7 | and build absolutely whatever you want. And this is a really fun week because you don't have |
| 0:20.3 | the pressing parts of like the rest of your business or the rest of your job sort of having to get done. You can just spend some time working on whatever it is that you want. So we all, all three of us did three totally different projects. And we're going to detail what we did just briefly here in this |
| 0:41.9 | podcast. And then in the next three episodes, we're going to go a little bit more in depth, |
| 0:49.0 | as well as provide some a bit more video as to what we actually did, showing code, showing some of the |
| 0:55.2 | hardware we worked on. Pretty fun projects. I'm really excited to share what I've been working |
| 1:00.4 | on. I'm really excited to hear what these guys have been working on as well. Yeah. My name is |
| 1:04.4 | Scott Tillensky, and I got to say, Wes, you said it's free from the normal things of work. I worked so hard on Hack Week. I was like, Courtney. I started a week before.

| 1:29.4 | But I worked so hard. I put in nights. I put in extra, extra, extra time. I was working on, I woke up, was waking up early to work on it before the kids went to school. |
| 1:40.9 | It was a long and a hard week. But honestly, the end results were pretty amazing for all of us, |
| 1:46.9 | I think. C.J., how about you? By the way, audio folks, C.J. Reynolds is joining us today because he also |
| 1:52.9 | did a great hack week project. Yeah, so same experience. I think that's one of the things about |
| 1:57.4 | being able to work on anything you want, you can pick the things that |
| 2:00.9 | you're, like, really passionate about. And yeah, I got sick last week, or was that hack week? |
| 2:06.3 | Whatever hack week was, because I'm still recovering. But I still, I worked through the sickness |
| 2:10.8 | because I was so, I liked my idea so much. Yeah, it was really fun. Yeah. It does say something |
