Time to finally touch some grass. May be back someday. You can consider my projects "unmaintained"; I would be happy to help anyone looking to take on maintenance of any of them. In particular,Legoktm and0xDeadbeef are the two other maintainers of apersonbot on Toolforge and should thus be your first point of contact for any of those projects. Keep in touch! Messages are warmly appreciated, whether via email, Discord (where my username is doctor_worm), or IRC. What's next? Probably a lot moreFRC. Thank you all so much for the many good memories over the years. <3 Stay cool, Enterprisey (talk!) 03:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

1. "To the extent that we make it easy to get into trouble, we fail." (Originally aboutAPI design, but applies to user interfaces too. By Rico Mariani, quoted inhttps://blog.codinghorror.com/falling-into-the-pit-of-success/)
2. "[N]ot every argument or idea you disagree with has to be shouted down loudly. If a proposal (or a counter-argument to it) demonstrates value to enough people then it will gain support and can be refined into something that can reach consensus. If not, then it won't. Critiques of early-stage proposals in particular should be done with a goal of improving them, better understanding their motivation, or comparing them to alternatives. Comments that are closer to just 'voting no' on a proposal aren't really necessary.
   In disagreements, responding with new information is great, but try not to get in a mode where you are trying to convince specific people (or all people) that you are right and they are wrong. Focus on presenting your own ideas/needs/etc. as clearly as possible. Then people reading the thread (not just the person you are responding to) can judge competing arguments on their merits.
   For anyone who wants to [design new features], remember that the bulk of the work is not in coming up with ideas, but in building consensus for them. To succeed, you'll need to spend a lot of time on understanding other people's viewpoints and tweaking your designs and communication based on what you learn. (This includes any concerns from the people who would need to implement and maintain your feature.) This 'listening' is the part of the process you'll need to focus most of your time and energy on. If you don't invest in it, then the rest of your effort is likely to be wasted." (mbrubeck,posting on the Rust Programming Language Internals Forum, used here with permission)
3. "Signatures and talk pages are the Number One barrier to entry for new editors. Everything else is a fart in the wind." By Jorm, May 2021. He elaborates inhis next comment.
