Everyone's been winging it since forever
While preparing slides for an upcoming talk at JS.Geo I started looking at the list of presenters. As someone that’s been making maps for only a year or so, I was suddenly overcome with the urge to crawl in a hole: these people have, almost to a (wo)man, built the tools I’m barely managing to make work.

Below is the story; I think it’s still my favorite email.
