That headline is corny, I know lol.

I hope that I and May find you all in good health and spirits as we head into a new month full of promise and potential.

First off, I have to admit that I recently watched a video of Lance Bass doing some N'SYNC choreography to "It's Gonna Be Me" and it gave me a burst of nostalgia and energy. It got me thinking about how we, as a community, can harness that same energy to propel us forward into this next phase of recovery and growth.

As the middle of the year approaches, Technical.ly remains committed to assessing and reporting on the health and vibrancy of our local tech communities. We're keeping a close eye on which meetups and other professional hubs are most active and relevant, as well as how our city centers are recovering from pandemic-prompted economic setbacks.

We're also curious to know if remote and hybrid work are truly as universal as they may seem. What skills are local employers seeking? How are companies adapting to the changing landscape of work and workplace culture? These are just a few of the questions we're exploring in our reporting this May (see more in this article about our new editorial calendar theme).

So, keep an eye out for our latest stories, updates and insights on all things tech in Baltimore. Or hit us up about any tips.
