We did a (unedited) video podcast, thanks @FredKSchott for chatting off the cuff again!
Some topics along the way: discord/gaming, moderation, our limits, saying no, digital localism, consumerism/participation, spatial software, serendipity

Back in April, @FredKSchott and I had a fun convo about breaking changes in open source: our experiences via snowpack/babel, forks, bugfixes as breaking, and a bit on sustainability.

So @orta, @swyx and I are in the early stages of a Babel plugin hackathon! We want to lower the barriers of entry to owning the language you use everyday.
If you’re interested in helping us run it (channeling CSS Zen Garden), join us in the Babel discord: discord.gg/NKEAr8
