In this roundtable we'll explore the hidden challenges (and - hopefully - joys) behind the open-source world.
What does it take to bring a nice project/library/tool idea to a worldwide success on GitHub?
And is it really worth it?

With more than 12 years in the iOS development field, Stefano really finds it hard to stay away from the keyboard and not code some Swift app on any platform. Or talk about Swift in some online community.
He is also a great music fan and musician wannabe, but strangely doesn't listen to Taylor Swift.
He works at Synesthesia, leading the mobile team with a focus on iOS as tech leader. You may have seen him on stage at previous Swift Heroes editions asking awkward questions to all the speakers as co-host / resident expert.
He is a cat person, has a terrible sense of humour and doesn't like to write about himself in third person.
