the "look but don't touch" license
empowerment and exhaustion
maintainers' spidey sense for complex, headache-inducing systems
my family's bug reports
what it's like, making performance art about this life we live
& more

@brainwane That was so good! Thank you for sharing. 😊

@nik Oh thank you so much! If there was any part that you particularly enjoyed, I'd love to hear about it.

@brainwane
- Two types of people, those who can take bug reports and those who can’t.
- Aaaaalllll the personal tidbits, especially things related to being South Asian.
- The waves bit.
- If we can fix anything, we have to fix everything.
- The film trailer bit.

It was really relatable, even for someone not in the field. And it was a long set! Didn’t even notice the time pass. I was engaged throughout and wanted more.
