I have been a software developer since 1997. I co-founded a startup called ShareAPhoto which was eventually acquired by HP. I am the author of the Rails Pocket Reference (O’Reilly 2008) and have been an active member of the open source developer community since. I have been working in the open source sustainability field for nearly a year. I founded Code Sponsor last year to help support open source projects. This year, we re-branded the company as CodeFund and focus on helping developers find funding through ethical advertising.

In this episode, we are joined by one of the most humble open source maintainers Henry Zhu of Babel. We will learn all about Babel, how it’s funded, how he deals with issues, his involvement in TC39, and what he means when he says, “It’s less about you individually and more about the community.” Henry really has some great stories and advice to share, especially in these hard times that we are all dealing with.
