This is triggering for so many interactions I've had in open source. When you put your heart and soul into something, it is brutal how some people can immediately take it for granted and demand more. Those interactions are rare but they are the ones that keep you up at night.

Our Portland conference is inching closer. Excited to see everyone again at Rev Hall, and hoping we get some sunshine to enjoy the roof deck again this year 💗

New episode on leveraging your open source project (or building one!) into your full time job/company. Outstanding panel of guests here.

Will McGugan, Sebastián Ramírez, Samuel Colvin, Eric Holscher, Charlie Marsh, and Gina Häußge (@[email protected]) + Michael Kennedy

I love this idea of hosting a Walk & Talk: craigmod.com/ridgeline/175/ -- as someone who is quite fond of walking, this seems like a lovely way to combine socializing and walking.

Happy New Year, fellow documentarians!
