It's with incredible sadness that I inform you that stray has passed away after a long illness

I knew Lindsey since University and she was my friend, colleague, bandmate and mentor. In so many ways she influenced me and cared for me and without her I would not be the person I am today. Without Try Harder I wouldn't be the developer I am today.

RIP Stray

I often thought about Stray I often posed the question how would Stray have solved this problem I often think of the discussions we had about the future and want to discuss how things turned out I quit social media and it was only the friends that I met via Stray that I really missed

Oh noooo!! :(

I too often think back to those times at the Try Harder retreats.

Definitely some of the most formative moments in my career, giving my first talk, learning about "advanced" topics such as test-driven-development.

She will definately be missed, tho I will continue to think about her.

Really sad news. Try Harder was also formative for me, made me - well - try harder, and I often think of how much I owe to Stray. Strangely, I dreamt about her at the weekend.

Hope you are all well, and it's nice to hear from you again, albeit under such sad circumstances.

Sad news :( Try Harder was such a great experience and I loved being part of it. Definitely changed the way I think about things. I'll miss arguing about what combinations of food tastes work together.
