I wish to pet this

[fefrei (Felix Freiberger)]

I petted it for you, I hope that’s okay?

Wait, how in the world can you mistake that for a monkey?

Squint and focus on the white bits

I loved the interview. Like most users here I’ve been helped by Felix at some point!

I really liked this idea:

we could have a small guide the helps first-time contributors set up the environment (on Digital Ocean, so anyone could follow, but it should also work for local development, at least on Linux), and fully guide them through doing a change, testing it and creating a PR. (I’ve seen some cases here on Meta where people shied away from the last step.)

I was invited to do a PR for a tiny bit of CSS. It’s on my todo list, but not knowing whether if it will take me 30 minutes or 3 hours to do it, I’ve avoided it.

But I shouldn’t be surprised given how many people have told me they see a guinea pig in my avatar

I thought it was a capybara!
