This was a really enjoyable episode. Great to see Chet and Doris. I've following the development of LookaheadLayout and it's awesome that they got it done!

Awesome to see Chet still in the whole scene, even after he went back to school :)

Great to see Chet again!

I still remember Doris Liu's first appearance on the podcast (around 2021), and she used to laugh a lot back then. Like, A LOT, on microphone. It didn't bother me much but was a bit funny 😅
She's still as joyous, but a lot more composed, great to see the improvement!

BTW if Chet is from Chicago which blues or jazz musicians is he into?
