Dear Colleagues,
After much reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave GitHub, with my last day being October 29, 2024.
My time here has been nothing short of transformative. The one constant through all the highs and lows has been the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work with. You have consistently shown courage in speaking up, advocating for what’s right, and putting out extraordinary work. I’ve grown more here over the last five years than in any other position, thanks in no small part to the collaboration, mentorship, and friendship you’ve all offered me.
I’ll miss our shared problem-solving, the inside jokes, and, of course, our collective drive to make great things happen. I hope we keep in touch and that our paths cross again.
Thank you all so much. It has truly been an honor and a priveledge to call you my calleagues. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Warmly,
Chris Bloom, aka @chrisbloom7
