<p>While CodePen itself is about 8.5 years old as I write, <a href="https://codepen.io/rachsmith">Rach</a> was part of the first round of hires we ever did, and has crossed the ever-so-rare and round-of-applause worthy 5-year milestone. She <a href="https://rachsmith.com/5-years-at-codepen-a-reflection/">blogged it</a> as well. So has <a href="https://codepen.io/mariemosley">Marie</a>! Both of them join me (Chris) in a chat about that half-decade of life and work here at CodePen. </p> <h3 id="h-time-jumps">Time Jumps</h3> <h3>Sponsor: <a href="https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/10/29/announcing-background-functions/">Netlify</a></h3> <p><a href="https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/10/29/announcing-background-functions/">Netlify</a> is great for a million reasons, chief among them how easy it makes to deploy your code. Not just static files, either. Netlify helps you deploy serverless functions as well. And now, those functions can run much longer: 15 minutes. That's enough time to do long-running tasks like web scraping, media generation and optimization, and things like data syncing.</p>
