Hello, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and code. It's now May, which is one of my favorite months because it's spring. And all of the flowers are blooming and it's just nice to be in nature again. But it's also mental health awareness month, and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and Global Accessibility Awareness Day, which happens to fall on May 19.
