Dustin Kirkland here, author of Byobu, among other things.

For me, Claude has brought the joy back to creating again. I have a very busy schedule -- working a full time job, managing a huge team, raising a family.

For many years (some have noticed the gap in git history) -- I haven't had the time to work on Byobu (or, my employment arrangement made it difficult to contribute to open source software).

But now, I'm employed by a company that welcomes open source contribution. And Claude has given me a small army of interns, for $20/month -- that have been working around the clock fixing bugs and adding features that I've always wanted to work on, but haven't had the time to do so.
