A little feisty this, dear Spotify, preluded by “Age is just a number. So don’t take this personally”, but on point as always, and point well taken 🙂‍↕️

Standing on the shoulders of giants: immense thanks also to @bioconductor.bsky.social core, its community and developers, for the two decades of foundational work we could build on today.

Shout out and thanks to everyone who was a part of this; one couldn’t have done it alone.
