Discussion on: I'm the former tech lead for the NPM CLI, and I've been doing FOSS for 10+ years, Ask Me Anything!

I think Adlai and I had a particularly fervent enthusiasm for what we were working on, and every time ideas came up, it felt like we amplified them for each other.

I think a really key part of that collaboration was my openness (as the original dev/owner of the project) to let others' ideas in, even if I was uncomfortable with them at first. Working on Sheeple really taught me to trust others' competence when working on FOSS and that the end product is a function of a lot of great ideas and talents that end up being greater than the sum of their parts.

Thanks for the response. I think being more open about new ideas is an idea I should draw from for my personal projects.
