Jerod SantoBrett Cannon – Python core developer and dev lead of the Python extension for VS Code – joins us on The Changelog podcast to discuss the human side of sustaining open source.
Brett's 15 years of experience in the community have taught him a ton. He took a hiatus in 2016 to avoid burning out, and his message comes from a powerful place:
The whole reason I've put in the effort into doing the talk, and the blog post, etc. is specifically because I care so much about the people involved in it... Because I don't wanna give it up. I wanna make sure that I feel like I want to keep coming back, so I'm doing the best I can to try to make sure that it continues for me personally, and for others as well, so they also are going to have the same benefits I've received.
This is a great conversation! Take a listen:
(Stick around after the outro for a bonus segment on Kylo Ren, the marines, and how great weather is never enough to make us happy. 😭🤣)
