The Legacy of the JavaScript Community
summary
Argues that legacy is concrete: people and progress define JavaScript’s future, not features. Claims leadership is ephemeral — leadership is an act anyone can perform by making space, using correct pronouns, or giving kind feedback. Cites the ten‑year‑old who finished Codecademy and designers who ship CSS as community members, warns small kindnesses ripple years later, and notes Turboscript is open source on GitHub as an example of community work that others can build on.
