The unsung heroes
Not all heroes build billion-dollar companies. Some quietly build the tools that run them. While the world celebrates names like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, there are countless “Ronalds” behind the scenes — writing code, maintaining systems, and keeping everything running. The real backbone of tech isn’t just innovation, it’s the people who make sure things never break. The unsung heroes of the industry
In a world full of Bill's... be a Ronald even though he's not real. Strive to be the open source champion. Strive to be bigger than the greed share the wealth of knowledge so we don't go out with a bucket full of cash and a whimper of "oh someone could have used that" At least Steve didn't scalp people for software...
Just don't piss him off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident
Actually I call it rgnk, which means Ronald's global number kounter
Curious — how many of you are actively looking for a switch right now? I keep sharing relevant openings & updates regularly.
Appreciate highlighting utility libraries and tooling that keep JavaScript projects maintainable, performant, and developer-friendly.
Well I hope big tech companies support the unsung heroes of open source software they rely on so much.
lol Non devs can’t understand
Thanks to our open source heroes which are being exploited by companies that are using their review and coding efforts to sell tokens and become richer.
