Welcome to the August newsletter. I was looking up some inspiration on how to open it and found a sketchy website that said that the official animal of August is the starfish which is a sign of renewal. That could be totally made up but, whatever, this is a time of renewal for a lot of you: students and teachers going back to school, folks getting back to work after summer vacation, and I imagine starfish are feeling a renewed sense of relief that they were not collected on the shore by said vacationers (note: I’m a computer scientist, not an ocean scientist).
This is a time of renewal for me, too. After serving as your community leader for the past 7.5 years (21.4% of the average lifespan of a starfish, according to a less sketchy website called Wikipedia), I’m leaving Fastly at the end of this month. You and I are in such good hands with the rest of the Glitch team – without them, we’d not be on the path we are to deliver on the strategy I laid out earlier this year, and I wouldn’t feel as good about my decision to leave this job as I do today. I can’t wait to see them grow the platform and community and help us all share and discover the best parts of the web. Please be kind to them, as they work so hard for us and love Glitch as much as I do.
So, this post heading wasn’t clickbait. Going forward you’ll be hearing from the rest of the incredible Glitch team. As for me, I’ll be reading those newsletters, chatting with you in the forum, continuing to enjoy your cool apps, taking part in code jams, and maybe even finishing some of the hundreds of Glitch apps I’ve started through the years. I can’t wait to share what I create with you! In the meantime, the rest of this newsletter is full of, you guessed it, cool apps and blogs you shared over the past month.
