In this segment of the My Open Source Experience podcast, Kelsey Hightower shares his current adventures, which includes a home improvement project. As Kelsey is now advising startups, rather than working in 9-5 jobs, he highlights the importance to keep your energy and drive, no matter when you retire, and how someone can't stop sharing once they started. While Kelsey talks about his adventures to install new bidets in his house, he also drives analogies to software development and decision making. Always remember before you start refactoring something:- You need to be careful to avoid breaking things- It needs to be backwards compatible- It needs to look better than before Kelsey and Phil draw an analogy and describe engineers being somewhere between tradesmen and artists. Can you relate? But, does Kelsey have any working bidets in his house yet?<hr> Hosted on Acast.

The global open source ecosystem has millions of projects and observing and participating individuals, who are trying to find their ways to collaborate on activities and finding solutions to fulfill a shared mission. An ecosystem that large inevitably has challenges to remain a balanced, sustainable and welcoming environment. The My Open Source Experience Podcast collects and shares stories that describe people's experiences from their point of view. All experiences matter, the good, the bad, lessons that you've learned and challenges you still have. The hosts, Ildiko and Phil are talking to open source, veterans, newbies, their managers, and just really, anybody who is either already involved in the open source ecosystem, or would like to. This podcast is all about the individuals, their voices and their experiences and what they've been through ever since they started to think about or getting involved in open source.
