Gilbert Sanchez gave a deeply relatable talk on neurodiversity and what he called the “open-source dopamine train.” It’s easy to get energized and ship a cool tool. It’s much harder to sustain it solo. The real takeaway was this: if you want to build something that lasts, build a community around it, not just a codebase. His talk left me genuinely motivated to get more involved in larger open-source projects. Which, for someone who showed up worried about cliques, feels like real progress.

Note: Hey! That’s me. I’m proud to have helped.
