She also fixed several bugs in the existing code, including updating tableData when a team code changed, and optimized the filterWeeklySummaries function to improve performance. This work contributes to One Community’s commitment to global-sustainability systems design. Marcus worked on diagnosing a failure in the scheduled post feature for X, reviewing request and response handling while API rate limits limited full end-to-end debugging. He supported Jae by investigating and addressing a main branch error, including checks on build and dependency integrity, and he organized his development environment by cleaning VS Code extensions, settings, and workspace files to streamline future work. This work reflects One Community’s dedication to global-sustainability systems design. Snehal worked on cleaning the Facebook auto poster code in index.js, updated it to handle scheduling posts in the PST timezone, and modified the system to display hints for both Twitter and Facebook when the corresponding social media tabs were selected. She also completed backend tasks PR3466 and PR1359 and was waiting for approvals. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this contributed to global-sustainability systems design. See the collage below to view the team’s work.
