This post is a companion to a talk I gave at PyData London 2026. You can watch the recording here and see the slides here.

I’ve spent a lot of my software engineering career working on open source tools, libraries and frameworks. These are chunks of software that other software engineers use to build their software. I make things for makers, and I like that. A large part of working on these projects is telling people about the library, and explaining to them how to use it. Open Source Software Engineers spend a big chunk of their time on grassroots marketing, getting other engineers to use their code.
