## What Jamie wrote

A very sincere and heartfelt thank you to the former [Benevolent Dictator for Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life) (BDFL) of Python, [Guido van Rossum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_van_Rossum), as a retires from Dropbox. Dropbox was pretty lucky to get someone of his background on their team, and reading how much Dropbox uses Python I suspect it was hugely beneficial to him to work with the language he created operating at such scale!
