I’m still routinely intimated by some people in tech. Everything I publish gets negative comments to some degree. People telling me I’m dumbing stuff down too much, or I’m wrong about stuff and shouldn’t be writing about it. Putting yourself out there eventually guarantees this will happen to you.

Since we're among close friends, a confession: when I was in college, I experienced some hateful engineers in the Linux community, and it kept me away from open source in my prime programming years. Sometimes the difference between an annoyance and a valued contributor is kindness and mentorship.

For each of these haters there are dozens of people like me that really appreciates the effort and kindness you put into everything. Maybe we make less noise, but we’re here. Fuck the haters.

Thank you. Means the world to me to hear this sort of thing.
