What sparked your interest in Angular? about ama

[kentcdodds]

Originally, it was my work at Domo (discussed in #1). Specifically, when @geddski and @aaronfrost came on and encouraged us to use Angular, that's when I got into it. Dave Geddes gave us a quick demo using his ng-workshop repo (which I have forked and used several times). I was young and wowed by the two-way data binding and declarative style (though I had no idea what declarative meant at the time... and sort of still don't). Once we decided to move from backbone to Angular, I went all in (for more info, see #1).

As for contributing to the Angular project, you can find all my contributions here. (Specifically, all my commits here). For a while, I did this thing called #angularissueoftheday. I should pick that back up again. I help where I can, but I wouldn't consider myself a major contributor to the core project.

I should note that contributing to Angular doesn't have to be contributing code. Find out more in this Angular Air episode: Contributing to Angular
