Twitter Space: Making Data Storage Magical with Boutique

Sep 26, 2022 | 1 min read

I joined Rizel Scarlett and Christina Warren of GitHub on GitHub’s Open Source Friday Twitter Space. We had a wide-ranging conversation about my journey from working at Twitter on societal health issues to becoming an indie developer, and how my story involves open source at it’s heart. I built Boutique to be a “magical” persistence library, along with its companion Bodega, which led me to discover the harsher reality of being an open source maintainer, and working full time on open source wasn’t my dream despite my love of open source.
