Episode 253: Alexander Kaltsas

The Mac Admins Slack seems to be an ever-evolving microcosm of love and despair as it mirrors what we all go through in our lives and careers – but always helpful to those who need it. Today we’ll touch base with one of the most prolific poster of all time on slack to chat about recurring themes, transitions, and maybe a little bit of netiquette.

- Charles Edge, CTO, Bootstrappers.mn – @cedge318
- Marcus Ransom, Apple Systems Architect, CompNow – @marcusransom
