Event Producer at @wpsessions. Organizer behind @wordsesh, @woosesh, and @loopconf. Father to 3 boys (one with #T1D). Husband to @kjrichards. I love #OSS, #Lego, #woodworking, and good #movies. (Also it's pronounced "risen" as in, "He is risen.")
I see and post 12:34 a lot. No, I don't know why, either.

@docpop Great! Thanks again for the suggestions. Dude is loving it. We went with the Magicyoyo K2 Crystal and he's been throwing it every day for a week now.
Yesterday I blew his mind by saying you recommended it, that I know you, and then showing off some of your YT shorts. 😄
@docpop I noticed that as I started my search! I'm just accomplished enough to throw a sleeper, walk the dog, and get the yoyo to re-wind itself after a stall. I never got beyond that, so my mind hasn't yet wrapped around how an unresponsive yoyo would ever return.
Time for some YouTube education!
@docpop awesome, thanks a ton!
He got a cheap swag variety trinket yoyo from an event a couple weeks back and it's held his interest. Conveniently, his birthday is this weekend which means we can take a still-inexpensive next step and see if interest builds or wanes.
12:34!
Back home, finally, after a very long day of travel from London. #LoopConf was a blast! And now I'm ready to be in my own bed
This is excellent. 👌🏼
“Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of $8.8 trillion.
Most of it is one person.
And […] not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resources they need. If you want to talk about possible risks to your supply chain, a single maintainer that’s grossly underpaid and overworked.”
Yuuup. Baffling how so many companies depend on open source software without funding it, ever.
The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the software running THE WHOLE F*CKING PLANET is written by one person. In a country. But we have no idea which country. It’s not the same person mind you, but it’s one person.
