I'm launching Stories We Love, a video series about the people shaping how we build, gather, design, and tell stories. I’m doing this a bit selfishly. Everything is changing so quickly, and I want to learn from the people pushing things forward.

First up: My good friend @swyx, founder of AI Engineer movement, among many other things. And @KaitlynBarclay, CEO of @scoutlabco, a woman who has spent her career thinking differently about brand, culture, and community.

First conversations coming when I return from the Burn. 🔥 https://t.co/HMt3snvHmj

Welp... I finally wrote the Burning Man blog post. As I get ready to head back to the desert for my 11th Burn, I can't help but reflect on it's influence on me and how I approached designing developer communities over the years.

The main takeaway is that Burning Man isn't just an event, it's an operating system that fosters collaboration, genuine connections, and creativity for 80,000 people.

Would love to hear what you think. https://t.co/oElCxnL4Ip

@kneath Same way I was taught! I recently learned there are even older pyramids than the ones in Egypt. They’re located in Sudan and were built by the Kushites.
