An public email draft for @thechangelog on Hack Club AMAs in eml format.

Changelog Interviews x Hack Club AMA?

Cross-over interviews, what could (possibly) go wrong?

How did we got here?

The Changelog team did a few of them not only in their own podcasts, so I was considering if I could ask the Changelog team for a cross-over epsiode by interviewing Acon Lin (and Chris Walker) about all things Hack Club and then drag the team into a Hack Club AMA session over Zoom.

So here we are.

Hi Changelog team!
I am Andrei Jiroh Halili, an 18-year-old Autistic Filipino high schooler, open-source
developer at RecapTime.dev and Alpine Linux package maintainer for GitHub CLI. But today,
I'll be wearing my Hack Clubber hat for this (and as a follow up to my episode request for
Changelog Interview by the way for context).
Earlier in my episode request for Changelog Interview with Chris Walker and Acon Lin of Hack
Club, I asked if you can do cross-over episode by doing the Changelog Interview first before
the Hack Club AMA one but Zeyu Yao at Slack told me I shouldn't ask to do both, as I quote
from them in the #amas channel:
> AMAs are us interviewing cool people - not the reverse lol
>
> and as I mentioned in #high-seas-help, we will definitely figure out what we can do!
> in the meantime, just share the hype with other students
(I included the full original message for additional context by the way. If it is not
possible in your case, I am more fine doing them seperately just let everyone know.)
Going back to the Hack Club AMA part, we'd be thrilled to have you, if you'd be up for it.
It'd be a 1 hour commitment, dates to be decided on once coordinated, with 25-50 Hack Clubbers
Hack Clubbers aged 14-18 on a video call. Hack Club AMAs are informal, fun, and meant to be
spaces for inspiring and authentic conversation. Hack Clubbers will come with questions - we
don't prepare them or screen the questions - and a Hack Club teenager will be helping facilitate the call.
Hack Clubbers are very technical, some have even made contributions to the Linux kernel, and
come from a wide variety of backgrounds and locations. The thing that bonds all of us together
is a love for learning, a curiosity for computers, and a yearning to build and make things.
Our past guests include Elon Musk, Patrick Collison, Gwynne Shotwell, Nicky Case, Dylan Field,
and more. Here's a example of a virtual AMA would like from a AMA session with the CEO of Figs:

If I can share any other information or details, please let me know. And if you'd like to
proceed, just let me know and we can find a good time (they usually happen on weekends in
previous AMAs). Since my timezone is in Philippine Standard Time, someone with nearest
timezone to US Eastern Time will coordinate with you in case I may be unavailable to respond.
