This project would not have been possible without all of the people who have assembled with us over the years. What we've written on these (digital) pages are the things we've learned from experimenting with you. Your patience helped us grow and learn from our mistakes. Your brilliance turned junk into wonder and joy. Your dedication got us through tough days. Your curiosity made the impossible possible. Your contributions made Assemble. Assembling is a group effort, and this playbook is no exception. To all the Assemblers out there, thank you.
