It's finally Friday, friends. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and working remotely makes the week feel longer to me. Like my fully-remote colleague Rebecca Knight, I miss sharing random thoughts with my colleagues. But she actually did something about it.

She messaged Pi as if it were her colleague to see whether it would make her less lonely working from home. Check out how her experiment went here.
