It feels like just yesterday that I was writing my proposal for this year's GSoC. I was excited and looking forward to not only working on the codebase again but also interacting with users of the dashboard, something I had never done before. While I always expected to get accepted into the program, I was vastly underestimating how invigorating(and taxing!) user research can get.
And yet here I am, 3 months later. I haven't written a lot of code to be fair but I've come to realize that - at least this year - the code wasn't the most important thing. And so unlike last year's report, you'll find that this report is more about the experience, the things I learned, and the people I talked to rather than about the code I wrote.
So without further ado, let's get started!
