To share the love a bit: what I find so amazing these days is the return on investment. In the early days, I was basically the only contributor to my own packages, and I felt a bit like I was "carrying a load" by putting code out there. But these days, the gifts from others exceed my own contributions many fold. I started trying to list people who have contributed in ways that have directly affected me (either in base Julia or to packages I care a lot about), and it quickly got completely out of hand. So, I really like Jiahao's "421 face of Julia," that really sums it up for me. --Tim
