What motivates me more then the project itself is the people behind it.

A great example. I've been working to empower and create communities outside of the US for webpack. Specifically, Africa. I had recruited some very passionate and excited individuals who wanted to lead the efforts to help grow and teach the communities there and represent their voices (in many places where I cannot). So we met and talked about a few things and some take away items. This morning, I got this image in my twitter DM's:

This left me with watery eyes and a sense of overflowing joy and pride just being able to know that there are people out there who are just as passionate and excited to help grow and build a more vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community, even globally. At the end of the day if I can change one persons life for the better, I've won. And open source and the incredible blessings it has provided me, have been the perfect vessel to continue that mission.
