I wanted to have a bit of story-time about some of the strange ways that all
this came to be, at least as I remember things. There are some really
interesting developments that led us here, and some important lessons to learn
from that history.
Do note that this is just my retrospective memory. It’s entirely possible I’m
misremembering some of it (let me know if so!). It’s also limited to my
perspective, and others may have seen very different aspects of things (please
share!).
