Feels so amazing to be working together these HECKINGLY super talented people.

I didn't mention everyone because of Mastodons limits, but if you wondered if your on this list, you would be.

I'm just a php dev, these folks are the real deal though, and yeah, for them to consider me a colleague or on the same level is so validating and awesome 🥹

So, like, just build. If I can do it, anyone can 🚀

The fediverse is full of real life superheros.
