Kiran: And Paris Pittman reached out to me and said, "You should join The Contributor Experience SIG." And Paris is one of those people that I thanked extensively. And I said, "Thank you for everything. Thank you so much." Because getting me involved in Kubernetes has introduced me to so many wonderful people. And without people like Paris and everyone that I know in the Kubernetes community, I absolutely would not be the person I am today. There's no way.
Kiran: Yeah, I saw a lot of new people, though. That was wonderful. That was even better. I was meeting new people that I didn't know before, or I had just known them through Twitter. And it was like, oh wow, now I can finally meet you in person. And it was great.

It doesn't have to be C++. It doesn't have to be Python. It doesn't have to be JavaScript and especially if you have dyscalculia like I do. I can only get so far in JavaScript before there's no more JavaScript I can learn because I'm not great at algebra. And recognizing that is okay. But I'm not going to sit here and willingly make myself feel bad because I don't know algebra. I can contribute in other ways. I can write docs; I can use GitHub Actions; I, I can use no-code or low-code tools.
Kiran: That's what I'm handling. And I also work on...my big project at Cumunda is the Camunda Community Hub, which is a GitHub organization where all of our community-built extensions live so that way people know that these are community projects. They can contribute to them. But they're not necessarily officially supported by Cumunda. But you can still come there and collaborate and extend out your Cumunda software using these extensions and perhaps improve your experience or the experience of your customers by using these tools.

Lauren: And it sounds almost hyperbolic but attending Ada Developers Academy changed my life. It was wildly...it shifted everything. And attending those conferences or meeting those people and just to really pause.
