@darius I ran across this post by @timbray last night, which was a good reminder to THINK CAREFULLY about what we're doing and to not forget that there are actual humans here (with all the attached rights and regulations).
I'm an excited software developer interested in building some stuff around here, but I will be treading carefully and be prepared to push back on stuff that might not be well thought-out.
