Announced today that Moment will make no further major change or features. Closed a lot of issues with a link to our guide pointing people to other libraries.

Know what people did?

Reply to the issues with "Fine! I'm quitting for date-fns since you don't fix issues"

We were all pretty heavy hearted with this. The library is an old friend.

And that's the response people give I guess.

The open source story needs work.

Software culture needs work.

Gotta add - Tim, Iskren, Isaac, Kunal, Matt, and Lucas - You have been exceptional partners on this journey. And I've only ever met two of you IRL!

That part of OSS is amazing.

For those who don't know - I married my fellow maintainer Matt.

Open source can be really cool sometimes.

Nerds. Nerds. Nerds. Nerds who make date libraries.

Open source is funny.

Another great Moment memory - when @kborchers got me to go to my first Node Interactive.

What an incredible community of people. So much love. Can COVID be over so we can go back to having collab summits!

Now this is just a fond memories thread. Sorry folks!

A couple other good ones:

When @bterlson helped us start Temporal and he was like "Don't copy moment - make it pedantic - we like pedantic in standards"

This one time, in a bar in Portland after TC39, @bradleymeck explained the differences in garbage collection across the engines to me.

He probably has no recollection of this. I think of this conversation every time I think about garbage collection.

After my first TC39, @littledan took a like hour walk with me in SJC while we talked about how to fix the Date parse behavior in V8.

We still don't have a great solution. But nobody cares about JavaScript quite the way Dan cares about JavaScript. He always impresses me.

He's not taggable on Twitter, but I went to a TC39 in Boston a while back and I got to meeting Isaac who wrote @luxonjs and his wife and son.

Absolute highlight to get to meet a fellow maintainer in person. We got along really well too!

I think maybe one of the best bits about moment is the confidence it gave me. I would never have thought I could work for big tech without that experience.

But once I figured out I could hold my own in OSS it came easily.

I remember inviting Kunal to the maintainer team and he was also like 'wow, me, okay'.

That guy is the real MVP for the last year BTW - he's been the one shipping the bug fixes.

Open source leadership summit - it was so fancy! That's where I met @davemethvin and we commiserated on maintaining libraries that the community thinks are old and bloated. Then I had some awesome wine with @jorydotcom and @kborchers

OH! The time an AirBNB fell through at TC39 and my phone was dead and there were no hotels. I finally found a 7/11 at like 2AM, plugged my cell phone into the rental car, and texted @MylesBorins - the only person awake. He was like "Maggie, hotel tonight app"

Myles is my actual hero for being awake to tell me about this app on a night that would otherwise have been a pretty dire situation.

At my first TC39, Bradley and Adam were talking about modules for like an hour, and I leaned over to @leobalter next to me and whispered 'can you explain what is happening?' and Leo whispered back "no one can".

OH OH OH OH! One time our code was in Orphan Black!

Someone wanted some code for the background of a shot panning over a computer. It was the bubbling code: https://github.com/moment/moment/blob/develop/src/lib/create/check-overflow.js https://twitter.com/orangecms/status/763662251597434880

Just last winter, right before everything happened, Matt and I drank beers with @pipobscure in this semi-secret club in London and talked about how to move temporal forward.

Who ever thinks you're gonna end up discussing time zones in a secret club in London?

On the subject of TC39: @fhinkel and @addaleax - thanks for being there with me on the first day.

Anyways. Moment isn't code. Moment is many things. Moment is Luxon, Moment is Temporal, and mostly moment is the friends we made along the way.
