Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than that for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a full time job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's literally an always on job.

Thanks for leading the Neutron team!  Neutron PTL really is truly a demanding role and you’ve filled it exceptionally the last 3 cycles.  Now enjoy some good gin in your new found free time.
