Chris! So lovely to see you here - I love not only your plugins, but your attitude and videos. Thank you!

  Honestly there are times when I think the attitude is more useful than anything I do code-wise. And I still care a lot about some of the stuff I've come up with in code ;) but these days, more is needed. It's worth thinking about why this is. I am very determined to stick with the kind of messaging and attitude that I like. I also have a strong intuitive feeling that it's not a good match to what platforms and competition and basically internet capitalism want to see out of me, and they've got enormous pressure to bring to bear, and many ways to direct me towards becoming what's useful to them, and indeed punish me for not doing so. That would mean that if it's in any way hard to find 'that attitude' you're appreciating, it's because it is reserved for people who both have it and are willing to take a beating to keep it. As we think about stuff like that, think about what ways platforms would like you to be more, I dunno, Logan Paul or PewDiePie etc in nature, for engagement, and in what ways they're able to deliver pressure and advocate for those on their platform to take on that form.
