Huge turnout to celebrate @mikeal’s memory tonight. most of us using (and hating) Node.js today don’t know what he did to keep the community open and thriving. When I was just a replyguy in 2017 he was kind and patient with me. as aiewf grows to 6000 next year, funny to see my old interactions with him now talking about how nonlinear it is to grow these things to 600. RIP and thank you.
