The NtB Swag Store!

I don't think we really need an explanation for this. It's powered by Shopify, a common web store engine, so there's web-commerce professionalss handling your payment info rather than us bumpkins. Unfortunately, I think that means we can't tell them to use shirts that are the correct size. Bummer :(

Dan's an awesome programmer and he's got a great team, and I believe they could pull off their own payment platform if they really wanted. But trust me, as a developer and engineering project manager whose had to deal with managing and protecting PII and financial data, you don't want to be on the hook for protecting PII or financial info if you don't have to. It's constantly under threat of hacking, and you have to constantly be on your toes for a vulnerability in any one of the dozens of technologies in your dev stack. Just leave it to the pro's. But still, it'd be really nice if the swag shirts were like Hanes Beefy Tee or Port Authority or something.
