I want to publicly thank <span class="h-card"><a href="https://comam.es/snac/grunfink" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>grunfink</span></a></span> for creating the amazing snac2, which powers my instance.<br>They&#x27;ve read everything I noted, suggested changes, and adapted the code to make it work optimally even on my slow VM. If all open source developers were as kind and helpful as they have been with me, the world would be an idyllic place.<br>A shoutout to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stefano</span></a></span> too - using snac2 was his idea, and he&#x27;s responsible for the technical implementation of the instance.<br>And thanks to everyone who makes my timeline interesting and complete - without you, all of this would be utterly pointless.<br><br><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#Snac2</a> <a href="/tags/thankyou/" rel="tag">#ThankYou</a><br>

<p>The fediverse is quite a thing. </p><p>This morning, my first (of likely many) rejection emails popped into my inbox. It stung little, I admit. It&#x27;s part of the process.</p><p>I stepped away for a networking opportunity, and when I got home, I noticed Feditext had a ton of notifications.</p><p>Curious, I checked and see that people were boosting my job search post left and right. </p><p>I don&#x27;t know what set that off, but it happened exactly at the right time. </p><p>Much appreciated. ❤️ </p><p><a href="/tags/thankyou/" rel="tag">#ThankYou</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>
