> I also thought (naïvely, the historical record has shown so far) that RSpec wasn’t going to be the only lasting contribution I made to the software industry as a whole. I was insistent, in 2007, that I wasn’t going to be a One Trick Pony. I still like to hope that I have many tricks left in me, but I’m less confident that I will be able to move the needle again in a similar way. I’ll be honest: this fact has caused me a lot of sadness over the years.
It's humbling to see the creator of a widely used and loved library express these vulnerable - and relatable - thoughts. Thank you for RSpec and all that you do, Steven. It changed so many people's lives for the better. We all do what we can.
