Become a sponsor to Kyle Simpson

Hello fellow OSS devs! 👋

I'm Kyle, but most of you just know me around the web as getify. Thank you so much for considering supporting my OSS work through Github Sponsors!

What your support means to me...

I love OSS!

How I approach it: I try to start with an empty file in a public repo, and then make frequent commits as I build/develop it. My assumption is that what I make is the worst possible version of it; the only chance I have of making it better is putting it out there so others can help me make it better.

I have almost 60 public repos on Github, at least a dozen of them active projects in various states of progress. I have so many ideas of projects that I either want to finish or build, and your support will help me dedicate the time to do that work.

A little about me...

Kyle Simpson is a web-oriented software engineer, widely acclaimed for his "You Don't Know JS" book series and nearly 1M hours viewed of his online courses. Kyle's superpower is asking better questions, who deeply believes in maximally using the minimally-necessary tools for any task. As a "human-centric technologist", he's passionate about bringing humans and technology together, evolving engineering organizations towards solving the right problems, in simpler ways. Kyle will always fight for the people behind the pixels.

  • I'm an author:

  • I'm a teacher:

    • I've taught over 8k people on core JS topics all over the world.
    • All my video courses are available on Frontend Masters; well over 860k hours have been watched!

    • I've given over 200 conference talks in 25 countries on six continents.

Thank You for considering support!
