KEYNOTE – Saron Yitbarek
summary
Community-building lessons arrive as particulars: a weekly Wednesday 9pm Twitter chat that runs for one hour with three rules — be supportive, be honest, be nice — a bootcamp that once costs $11–12k (now $20–25k), a podcast that grows to hundreds of episodes, an initial $200 sponsorship that proves a revenue model, an accessibility win when a blind listener can use audio CS content, a Codeland conference whose attendee feedback leads to concrete fixes, and a bipolar diagnosis treated with medication that restores functioning.
