I really only ever spend time and energy criticizing things if I think my notes might help make them better.

That is 100% the vibe I tried to bring to the Mastodon criticisms here—I really like this place, but I *really* want it to work better for more people who aren't like me.

When people say that the Ruby community is the best. What they mean is that the Ruby community is the absolute best community on the planet.

@Kowfm I’d be happy to help. I’ve been helping people get jobs in tech for almost a decade now. Let’s connect!

@Schneems @baweaver @noelrap Succession planning is difficult but possible with the right structure. I also totally agree that it’s hard to turn over something that you put so much work into but my hope is if I go into it with that intention it might be easier. There’s a lot of us on the Ruby Central board who are looking at these things with the long term sustainability in mind as we build more systems.

@Schneems @baweaver @noelrap I totally understand those motivations but I also think there are people out there who are passionate about community building. I, for one, prefer organizing to speaking. I don’t do it for the accolades, but rather for the pride in facilitating conversations around a mission I believe in.
