Tracy Osborn

Tracy is an outstanding example of a self-taught coder who has both bootstrapped as well as raised some funding for her projects. In addition to building Wedding Lovely, she's written several books on building Python web apps. She went through a heartbreaking courtship with Etsy only receive a low-ball offer from which she ultimately decided to walk away. Through it all, she's done an incredibly job of sustaining and finding ways to make it work.
