FYI, I updated the post to acknowledge the public criticisms of my previous behavior:
> I need to be clear about something. I'm not claiming innocence in every workplace conflict or community dispute. I've made mistakes, handled situations poorly, and there's been legitimate criticism of my behavior in some cases. The Requests 3 fundraising situation, in particular, was handled badly - I took on commitments I couldn't deliver and didn't communicate well about the problems. I've apologized for this, though I understand the damage was already done. Mental illness doesn't excuse harmful behavior, and I'm not asking it to.
Hello, my name is Kenneth Reitz and I am looking for work. You may recognize my name from the python community, where I am known for my API design and documentation skills.
I specialize in backend architecture and developer experience.
> From what I've heard, Pipenv "has been officially blessed" only insofar as its maintainer got commit access to PyPA's documentation and inserted a recommendation.
I apologize for not meeting perfect standards of mood at all times. I have bipolar disorder, for what it's worth, and working on a packaging tool is very stress-inducing.

GitHub's fandom is impressive considering how picky and opinionated developers are. How did you find an agnosticity balance that made such a diverse group of developers so happy?
I'm curious if the answer is being selective in features. You guys had a Gem builder for a while. Was it closed to help foster that idea that GitHub wasn't only a Ruby community site? And, did you consider creating similar tools for other languages?
Thanks for the input. The whole thing is def a work in progress. I put it together in about 4 hours, and that function in particular was some copy pasta from a project a few years ago. No worries, updates to come :)
