Just the direction things should be going. Decentralized but connected.

I'm still worried that maintaining consistency and quality at scale will be the biggest obstacle (I know this is the intention behind the project, but still). I know it may be a touchy subject, but have you reached out to Free Code Camp? It seems there may be some serious idealogical overlap.

Really cool read overall!

I certainly would think so! We should reach out just to level set in general. We'll see how that goes. We certainly don't feel like the issues have been resolved at all but hopefully we could create a dialog where we're not speaking past each other.

Definitely. If we wanted to do something easy this probably wouldn't be what we put our effort into πŸ˜„

I'd say the big bet here is that open source code gives us eyeballs efficiencies we could never achieve on our own and creating systems which are generally big enough independently to have dedicated maintenance will be important. I think a medium number of medium-sized things generally would be better than a small number of huge things or a huge number of small things.

We shall see.
