503 days working full-time on FOSS: lessons learned

Description

I worked full-time on a Python FOSS project (Textual) for 503 days, so what did I learn?

Am I a better (Python) programmer? Am I a better teammate? Am I a better person?

In this talk, I will share some lessons I learned over the course of these 503 days:
