Hey there! I'm Blaine (you may know me as @blainebublitz or phated). I'm an avid open source creator & experimenter. I've also been the lead maintainer of gulp for many years.
In my spare time these days, I'm working on the Grain programming language, building tooling in the ReasonML & ZK ecosystems.
Why open source?
My entire career has been influenced by open source.
- When I was just starting, I read all the source code I could find.
- I built a node.js consulting company using open source and gave back every piece of software I could.
- Now, I spend all of my time thinking about ways to get other open source developers paid!
Some of my projects
- gulp - The streaming build system
- grain - Grain is a new language that puts academic language features to work
- reasonable - ReasonML runtime
- gulp-sourcemaps - SourceMap support for the gulp ecosystem
- Gulp Community - Best-in-class gulp plugins
2 sponsors are funding phated’s work.
