Hey yall, I have a maple tree that is struggling. Last year was a bit hot, and we may not have watered the tree enough. Late summer many leaves had dead tips, and as of today (may 12th) a 3rd of the branches don't have leaves or growing buds. It doesn't seem to have any disease symptoms as far as we can tell, but it does have some girdling roots. We live in northern utah where we have dry hot summers.

I'm thinking of cutting some of these girdling roots I see. Many are small which I think is good news. Though I'm wondering if now's a bad time to make the cuts or if I just go for it. Thoughts?

Hey yall, I'm working on a team with a few legacy systems. We're a java shop, with a bunch of java backends and a few gwt frontend apps. We're trying to decide whether to ditch gwt for future projects, and possibly migrate old ones to another framework. Thoughts?

Considerations:
- a few gwt apps are very large and hard to migrate
- gwt is no longer supported by google, but is being maintained by an open source community
- a few other teams in the org are starting to use React
- our developers are mostly familiar with java though some know JS as well
- gwt has pretty slow iteration speed compared to other frameworks as it needs to transpile the java code into js. Browser debugging doesn't work, though a complicated debug system can be setup to debug the gwt code

Thanks
