I am loving these and not just because @keithamus.social is cool… maybe because I’m actually good at something for once though

“AI is destroying my humanity.” @mitchellh.com (HashiCorp; Ghostty, Vouch). From a conversation @helen.blog and I had with him.
Not an anti-AI take. A maintainer capacity take. Creation got cheaper. Review didn’t.
Maintainers: what’s helped you keep mentoring sustainable?
We’re going live in less than an hour 👀
At 3pm ET / 12pm PT, @helen.blog and I will be live with @mitchellh.com, talking about Vouch and what community trust actually looks like in open source.
Hope you can join us.

Steak too juicy, lobster too buttery, open source contributors too populous
There’s a demo mode if you look around enough 😉 because your girl is logging off until 2026 after today so it’s all in there
It's been a whirlwind year, including that @github.com put me back on fixing papercuts/"tiny wins" for OSS maintainers! In 5 months a team of just 2 engs plus me and another proper PM shipped 15 things, so I made a little app to celebrate 12 of them 💖 helen.github.io/12-days-of-t...
Sure :) I’m off for a couple weeks but shoot me an email helen@github and we will figure it out!
If you know me you probably won’t be surprised to find out I am involved with the first thing in here… (so you should watch it!)
One problem with not posting anymore is now that I’m finally speaking at a conf again I don’t know who all I’m gonna see! So… who do I get to hang out with at @allthingsopen.bsky.social 👀 @bryanl.dev @angiejones.tech @jason.energy @bizza.pizza maybeeeee???
I’m 40 today and proud of making it this far! I live a beautiful life surrounded by beautiful people who love me in the same weird way I love them too 🥰
Looking forward to speaking at #AllThingsOpen with @helen.blog on “Continuous AI for Accessibility: Build Better, Faster, Inclusive Software with GitHub” 🚀
If you’re working on #Accessibility, #OpenSource, or inclusive #AI come say hi after our session 👋

Writing this also reminded me that I meant to cross-post something I had written internally at work once the thing I was talking about was public! helen.blog/2025/09/ai-a...
No such thing as normal but also for the love of god can we please just be normal again
Had to wait a couple minutes to get into an airport lounge and the man behind me went on and on about “being treated like second class citizens with Priority Pass” and is now asking his companion if she preferred this line or the one at the Vatican ?????????
Have I mentioned recently that my team is really, really cool?
In honor of / inspired by #WCUS, I wrote my first personal blog post in 4 years :) helen.blog/2025/08/acce...
Imagining some Waymo trust and safety person randomly watching me say “was it the whip appeal or my baby face” to myself on the way home from the Clipse show
“There’s straight forward but there’s no straight backward” which one of y’all gave him an edible, what is going on tonight
“You know mom, when I think about it this way, we kinda all live on big islands” — my 12yo
Who knew that when I was dubbed Chief Emoji Officer of GitHub 5 weeks into working here that I’d eventually become the one true CEO
Hmmm okay I think these are all pretty recent

I think my favorite thing outside of the concert was getting successfully heckled by a guy with a mic on a rooftop in La Perla, wandering over to discover it was a tiny bar, and having amazing pitorro de coco and just the best real people vibes
Haha I didn't add that option so I couldn't possibly tell you, I do have personal feelings about people who set it to 5 though 😂 Or 12!
Not full speed or full slang thankfully, I still felt pretty validated tbh and follow it mostly fine but WHEW
The first thing I want to attempt to return to Being Online with is: we went to the Bad Bunny residency in PR and it was beautiful and perfect and a gorgeous celebration of culture and I met my goal of sticking to Spanish a little too well because everybody went right into 90% speed puertorriqueño 😵💫
I think I'm ready to capital-P Post again. Maybe. Let's find out!
AND this was my team too!!! The bestests. bsky.app/profile/mart...
Oh hey I'm back on my work BS aka trying to do a little bit of good for a lot of people :)
