- 13. COMMUNITY IS INTENTIONAL Cannot bean after thought.
- 14. COMMUNITY IS INTEGRAL TOFRAMEWORKS
- 15.
- 16. COMMUNITY IS HOW IT’SEXTENDED
- 17. COMMUNITY IS HOW IT’SMAINTAINED
- 18. COMMUNITY IS HOW ITSUCCEEDS
- 19. COMMUNITY IS YOU Ember coreteam knows this and have focused on community from day one. Ember wasn’t dropped fully formed from MegaCorp, Inc.
- 20. I’m going tolet you in on the secret to a vibrant community
- 21. –Bill S. Preston,Esq. “Be excellent to each other.” Seriously. How fucking hard is it to be nice to each other?
- 22. –Jesus H. Christ “Turnthe other cheek.” actually pretty hard. easy: nice people. hard: naysayers, entitled jerks, had a bad day,
- 23. –Mom “If you can’tsay something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
- 24. –Chris Eppstein “Don’t bea Sasshole.” I was the first Sasshole.
- 25. JAVASCRIPT COMMUNITY YOU’RE KINDAJERKS TO EACH OTHER
- 26. JAVASCRIPT COMMUNITY YOU’RE KINDAJERKS TO EACH OTHER OPEN SOURCE
- 27. EVERY CONFERENCE HASAT LEAST ONE OF THESE:
- 29.
- 30. I GET IT I’MGUILTY OF THIS TOO. Marsellus Wallace said it best
- 32. –Tyler Durden, probably “Youare not your OSS contributions.” You worked hard, maybe it was even your personal idea. But the people attacking it are not attacking *you*.
- 33. IF YOU HAVEFEELS STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD Tom, Yehuda, I’m looking at you buddies.
- 37. CONUNDRUM HOW TO COMPETEWITHOUT NEGATIVITY? Respect your competitor
- 38. COMPARISONS NATURAL AND NECESSARY ! BUTCAN EASILY BE HARMFUL.
- 39. ATTACK THEIR WEAKNESSES IGNORE THEIR STRENGTHS Everypiece of software makes tradeoffs. If you do this you’re not being fair. You’re also not going to be respected.
- 40. –Bernard Meltzer “If youhave learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secret of getting along — whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.”
- 41. WHAT IF? THIS COMPLETELYCHANGES THE TONE OF THE CONVERSATION. Not Respect people enough to let them draw their own conclusions.
- 42. CONFIDENCE IS KNOWING YOU DON’TNEED TO ENGAGE. At one point, when I was younger, I had a sports car… Jeff croft: stop defending what you make, it’s good and your work speaks for itself. EMBER IS GOOD. LET IT GO. Sass didn’t lose because I started ignoring negative people.
- 43. –Tom Dale “I feellike Ember is ‘beleaguered’ similar to Apple in its early years.” Tom, I want to challenge this perception. Even though, this has probably served you well. I know how motivating it can be.
- 44. WHY IS EMBERGOING TO WIN? There’s 625 of you here who are betting on ember. Why? (answers from audience)
- 45. WHAT DOES “WIN”EVEN MEAN? Most users? Fastest? Most big brands? Easiest?
- 46. –Dad “Find a jobyou love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
- 47. –Me “Use a frameworkyou love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
- 48. DO YOU LOVEEMBER? Photo Credit: http://images.elephantjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/raised-hands.jpg
- 49. CONGRATULATIONS YOU MAY HAVEALREADY WON.
- 50. IF “WIN” MEANSBEING #1 BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR YOU JUST MAY GET IT.
- 51. BEING #1 MEANS: •Being the default choice. • Support is WAY HARDER • Community? Good luck. • Enter a lottery to attend EmberConf 2020? 50% of programmers are of below average ability.
- 52. BEING #2 ISTHE SWEET SPOT. • People pick you because they know it’s a good fit. • Less support ➔ more time to focus on quality. • Better fit of users ➔ better community. Apple hasn’t won in spite of being “beleaguered” I would argue it does so well because of it. Many of you here may not realize it, but Sass has actually been #2 for most of it’s life. Less, was easier to install and use and it became the default choice for many years. It grew too fast and collapsed under the weight of the user base.
- 53. DON’T STOP LEARNINGFROM OTHERS • But maybe stop competing with them. • Do what you do because you love it. • Use what you use because you love it.
- 54. YOU MAY ENDUP #1 ANYWAY HOPEFULLY YOU’LL BE READY BY THEN
- 55. THANK YOU! I’ve lovedhanging out with you. Please keep in touch! @chriseppstein I’m excited to be making Sass better for folks like yourselves and I’m excited to see how Ember & Sass in combination can accomplish more than either of them in isolation.
