Hello fellow developer,  Wikipedia is now 25 years old. I could have sworn it was there before I started developing for the web, but it was a few years later. I edited quite a few things there and I am also donating money to the cause every month. Wikipedia is the best the web has to offer - freely available information in a read/write medium. To me, this is what the web is about, but there is a big danger that it will go away. Let's not make that happen, and instead keep pooling our knowledge, insights and ideas. The web is a gift, and I am looking forward to keep meeting you there.

He created it for himself a long time ago as he realised that our time as developers is expensive and valuable and he wanted to automate the annoying bits. Check out how he did it and why you should also focus on making things easier for you. Watch now!
