  content: Naomi built our incredible syndicated community help channel which among other things made it easy for us to see customer feedback and help customers more quickly. Naomi ramped up incredibly quickly and took on a breadth of projects across the org. You'll see her work leading the information architecture changes for new product docs and launching the new product demos, casually addressing an infra issue (on launch day). You'll see her making critical SDK changes across many languages. You'll see her being calm and considerate even under pressure. I'm very grateful for her SDK work on temp keys which enabled many critical customers to launch with token-based auth. This project was an early opportunity to see Naomi shine, she took on something complex and ambiguous so quickly and confidently and was an excellent collaborator throughout.  Inside and outside the org she is a community builder, actively trying to build community and connection in many different ways while putting inclusion at the forefront. I also loved her presentation for Pride month this year.

  content: I wanted to give a shout out to Naomi who is always so patient when I ask her about complex GIT situations I "git" myself into. Whether it's a funky rebase or major merge conflicts she always has the answers and is so helpful.

  content: "Happy Trans Day, Naomi 🏳️‍⚧️🤍\n\nI love you so much. You're a true blessing, and I hope you know how amazing you are.\n\nThis server means a lot to so many people. I've heard from others how safe they feel here…something they don't always experience in other spaces. That's because of the environment you've created.\n\nYou're a great inspiration to many developers finding their place in this world. Seeing a trans woman thrive in a male-dominated space is incredibly powerful. Your presence alone is motivating."

  content: "Especially in a learning space what is most important actually is the modeling you do for the learning environment you are cultivating. In this case when you overdo it modeling how to step back and recalibrate with the community and during that recalibration evaluate your systems to provide buffer for yourself to decrease the odds that future recalibrations will be necessary. People going above and beyond is how workers get exploited and in learning spaces it is good to model the tools folks need to be able to represent themselves and fight for their own needs in a world where people will be constantly pushing for more.\n\nThanks Naomi for all that you do. Everything will be fine. People have a bunch of free resources available to them while you recalibrate and there are plenty of additional places they can get supplementation if that is required and they can't wait. It is good leadership to say no to things that are unsustainable."
