I was never active in SerenityOS and only watched things from afar, but JT had a transition and I got the sense that the other contributor just got busy with life. That said, SerenityOS was a 'for us by us' mostly fun project that became too big and collapsed under its own weight without Andreas. Andreas is a great programmer and seems like genuinely nice person, but over time he was becoming more of a programmer influencer and since seems to have transitioned to PM/EM with full-time Ladybird. I miss his videos, they taught me I never want to write C++ and that splitting a giant work in tiny changes works and that programming videos are tiktok for programmers.

Which is to say, falling out with Andreas IMO is less than likely, dude just seems nice from the onset, but with changing tides in project it is highly likely that people just became uninterested over time.

I thought Sophia officially closed down working on both Nushell and Jakt, but it appears I mis-remembered: it was Nushell and another language named June.

> TikTok for programmers

And do you see that as a good or bad thing (genuine question, just curious)?
