Hey folks, I’m the founder of DEV (dev.to), which is a network for developers built on our open source software Forem.

We have had a journey of over 10 years and counting working on all of this, and we recently joined MLH as the next step in that journey.

Forem has been a fascinating experiment of building in public with hundreds of contributors. We have had lots of successes and failures, but are seeing this new era as a chance to re-establish the long-term goals of making Forem a viable option for anyone to host a community.

We are curious and fascinated in how open source will change in the AI era, and I’m happy to talk about any of this with y’all.
