G'day 👋, I'm Marais! So happy you're here.
Im an open source developer, maintainer, and bring passion and
expertise to software teams. Currently building
GitHub!

I live in the sunny Gold Coast, and been on the internet since 2005
...which is really my "hometown".
Live fearlessly, have a go, care deeply, say thank you, and get excited!
- Enthusiasm Matters
- life is far more enjoyable when something excites you
- maybe why bigger things tend to be easier to do
- Radiate Kindness
- think before speaking
- forgive before seeking revenge
- prefer long-term relationships instead of short-term pride
- say, thank you
- why? it can impact an entire community
- Do The Hard Things
- you can do more than you think
- have a go
- Care Deeply, Not Passionately
- going deeper is always better than going wider
- but don't sweat the details
- attention is precious
