Alternatively maybe, just maybe, I'd like to meet people outside of work who are passionate, hard working, and like building interesting things. Also what if, as an abstract hypothetical, I actually want to give back to my community???? And in that strange and nearly unimaginable reality, what if I think that it would be cool to use the skills I have to this aim.

Been a dev for 10 years, worked at 3 of the 5 faangs. I still contribute to codeforphilly and open source stuff. Most of the best devs do.
