Do you pronounce 'babel' in the same way?

Haha. No. A 'bauble' is something you decorate your Christmas tree with. 'Babel' is the Hebrew term for Babylon which means 'confusion'. But he's Swedish. So, we can't hate too much. They brought the world Ikea.

##PROTIP: README Love
READMEs are AWESOME. They are one of the best things you can add to a repo, (other than quality code), to make it look professional.
####Things that make a README great:
Today we're going to build a node.js application to collect email addresses using Kickbox. We'll be using Express and Request on the server side, and jQuery on the client.
We'll be using Glitch during this tutorial, because it provides an environment, editor, and hosting in one convenient package. There's an example of the completed project too. If you want to follow along in your own environment, all of the code will work.
Recipient Authentication makes it easy to collect email addresses the right way. We handle account activation, double email opt-in subscriptions, and password resets. We make sure the email gets delivered, send drip reminders, expire old links, handle out-ops, and automatically add authenticated addresses to your email service provider or marketing platform.

I want you to laugh at the absurdity of our industry, remember the failures of yesterday, learn the lessons of today and embrace the challenges of tomorrow.
Our products are, at the end of the day, the ultimate deliverable. Developers are a discerning audience with a near-zero tolerance for fluff and vaporware. They can be fiercely loyal if a product is great, but will quickly become flighty when quality suffers. Great products cannot exist without a vibrant content ecosystem that rapidly onboards developers, pointing them firmly in the direction of success.
The Microsoft Audience team is dedicated to working directly with Engineering, Marketing and across the Cloud Advocacy organization in the relentless pursuit of helping refine our products, and our perception. We do this by putting a laser focus on our content, messaging, and feedback mechanisms so that our marketing and engineering efforts are targeted. After all, there are only two types of developers - those who are currently our customers and those who will be, because our products are that good.
Microsoft suffers from its share of o
