The Aging Developer

  1. Quotes
When Rachel first hung a chalkboard in our kitchen, it quickly became my favorite canvas. Before long, I took on the task of updating it, sharing a new quote at the start of each week. Each message reflects a moment in time—what we've recently experienced or what's just around the corner for our family. This virtual chalkboard is a collection of those quotes, capturing the essence of our journey together.
