Temporary farewell 🥚
Hi everyone, Amit here. I'm a Product Manager at Maestro, a firm believer that products should be built together with communities, and I've been a moderator here since day 1.
This week I'm starting maternity leave early (35 weeks pregnant here), and after that I'll be taking a short break from the outside world to focus fully on the world inside.
Over the past six months, you've taught me an enormous lesson about people and their impact, and how communities shape better products. In an era where AI can feel dystopian, you've reminded me of the optimistic side: the rapid knowledge sharing, the genuine connections, and the biggest opportunity of all - making real education accessible to everyone. Knowledge, skills, degrees. The things that actually change lives.
There's a biblical saying that goes: "The envy of scholars increases wisdom." Surrounding yourself with people whose work you admire creates healthy competition and makes everyone better. Be good scholars and envious ones. It matters.
Thank you, immensely. I'm leaving this community in the safest hands - the Maestro team and dedicated moderators (led by amazing Abigail, aka u/Majestic_Donut_8537) who are the scholars I envy.
See you on the other side 🐣❤️
