That’s totally right, until like 2020 or something the community was small and underresourced, such that things were gonna get dropped.
But I think we also did a somewhat bad job of effectively strategizing about how to approach the problem such that we ended up making worse allocation-of-effort choices than we could have, given the (unfair) benefit of hindsight.
I have a draft post about how I think we should have spent the period before takeoff started, in retrospect.
Mostly, I just need to decide to spend a block of time writing, instead of doing other work. But aside from that, I have less need of co-writers, and more of a need for audiences that I’m actively writing for and engaging with (who those audiences are will be different for the many things that I have in the backlog).

I will read it when you publish it!
would a co-writer help?
