Well, then, all of the ones I listed, if you'll spot me the Fellowship = Of The Ring Atari 2600 cartridge before Thomas Jentzsch got me a little = more display space, even though the cartridge you can buy (and the = sources available online) are the later version. None of those are world-changing, and, for instance, I'm a lot more = proud of the current state of JupyterHub Kubespawner, which wasn't mine = to start with, but first I added per-user namespaces and upstreamed = that, and then I changed it from threads to coroutines, and upstreamed = _that_. The second change has made it a lot more reliable for everyone = (the first was useful for Rubin Observatory and people doing things like = we do, but not generally useful for JupyterHub under Kubernetes). But = both of those were building on (a lot of) existing work and were also = made a whole lot better by review commentary from my team. Special = thanks to Russ Allbery who was quoted on TUHS a couple days ago, who = really, really helped with the thread->coroutine conversion. Sure, I can do decent work on my own, but other people helping me out = improves it immensely. I know that I tend to: a) under-test, b) write = huge functions and source files when I should be doing things with more = granularity, c) write like it's 1979 and keystrokes are precious and use = nondescriptive variable names which make things hard to read. Review of = my work helps with all of these. Adam=
