It's pretty common to see a fair amount of skepticism when open-source projects raise venture money and Rome was certainly not immune from the skepticism. In this episode, Ben and Kaelan talk to Sebastian McKenzie and Jamie Kyle about Rome Tools, Inc., the roadmap for Rome, and the experience getting funding as an open-source tool.

Henry chats with Sebastian McKenzie, the creator of Babel, on it's beginnings, what he's learned both technically and personally, and what this Rome thing is all about. They surmise why it was popular, names/logos, vision/scope of projects, planning a launch, doing closed source development, burnout, motivations, setting priorities, delegating/letting go, and more! On Rome: why create something new, what's different than the current status quo, pros/cons of a mono-tool chain, on working privately, etc.Sebastian: https://twitter.com/sebmckHenry: https://twitter.com/left_padTranscript: https://podcast.babeljs.io/rome
