work and temperament

[brainwane]

I'm very grateful right now that I've found/made work that suits me, understanding and explaining and improving complicated systems, mostly in the open. Right now I'm in the middle of a deep understanding-so-I-can-demonstrate task, so I can explain why a particular stalled project matters & is more urgent than some stakeholders realize, and it's rewarding and I'm so happy that I'll be putting the results on a public wiki page so other people can learn from it, not just about this project, but about how a persuasive thing like that can look.

I said in a chat the other day:

and temperamentally, well, you've met me, I seem to, by default, believe that I'm doing the world a disservice if I hoard my wisdom without sharing it. I'm kinda joking but kinda not?
that plus some mild social obliviousness has really served me well in open source, and on that I am not even joking
