In connection with this article, I would like to organize a Q&A session using Twitter Spaces.
記事についてのQ&A のスペース開催はいつが良いですか?
According to the survey, a weekday evening is the most likely option. I will announce it on Twitter (and may write about it here as well), so please follow @_nat and stay tuned.
