@mhoye a few years back, at the peak of my devrel days, I met a friend (also speaker) at a conference. She is one of those overall-incredible-humans who started in open source, education and weird projects and “made it„ and got hired by a big company — this was Microsoft at the time — but being the kind soul they are kept their authenticity, so still, as a MS employee their talk was anything but. Anyway, we got to talk at one point and she has expressed deep frustration over… now being paid to work on VSCode while she interacted on a daily basis dozens of people who were not, in fact, getting paid to work on the same project.This hit me like a ton of brick at the time, and stuck with me for the rest of my life...
