Community – Marco.org →
Community can be difficult to find and even more difficult to keep. As Marco says: Communities form, change, and dissolve over time. … We change, too. I didn’t move on from most of those solely because they changed — it was usually because we both changed, and it was no longer a good fit.

Being Inclusive on Discord, Teams, and Slack
So I LOVE the discord community of Off-Nominal and while we’re not super diverse I always try to approach things with diversity in mind.

I have friends
This morning a co-workers car wouldn't start so I gave him a ride. No biggie, nothing any normal person wouldn't do in my place. Sure I was already at work at it was almost 8 but what was I going to say, "no"? So 2 o'clock rolls around and he's asks if when I drop him off I can jump
