The Blender 2.8 Code Quest has ended, but Brecht won't be coming home! He's returning to the Blender Institute (again ;-) as a full-time developer.
Remember that the Blender Institute needs your support to hire people like Brecht. If you haven't already, consider subscribing to the Blender Cloud or becoming a Blender Development Fund supporter.
Good post-CodeQuest news: Brecht Van Lommel joins the Blender Institute as full time Blender and Cycles developer. #b3d

That is some really good news.
Can't wait to see what he does here.. Wonder if there will be a quick interview with him to get input form him what he wants to do with Cycles.
Hopefully some OpenCL optimization ? I really have enough of waiting for the kernel to compile every time I open Blender.
Very good news for Blender! Poor Brecht will for ever be haunted by this one unfortunate photo of him :D
Awesome news! I really hope he continue pushing cycles to the limit!
Wooowwh! Great news!
YES! Yes! We won him back from ADSK! : )
Welcome back Brecht!
Brecht I love you <3
