Maintaining open source software full-time is both one of the most rewarding and demanding pursuits in engineering.

What I Have Learned

  1. Saying “No” is a Superpower: Protecting scope is critical to long-term project viability.
  2. Documentation is as Important as Code: A brilliant feature that is poorly documented does not exist in users’ minds.
  3. Community Over Code: Fostering an inclusive, responsive community creates enduring momentum.
