Expressing Respect and Gratitude

Dear Mr. wilsonrljr,

Today, while browsing through my starred repositories on GitHub, I noticed that you are still updating the Sisdentpy repository. I was truly moved, and so I felt compelled to write this letter.

When I first started graduate school, it was your repository that taught me about the Narx system identification problem. Using your repository, I successfully completed a project with my advisor. Although I no longer work in this field now, this direction and your repository have taught me so much. At a time when artificial intelligence was not yet very advanced, you created such an excellent repository and continue to maintain it. This will always be a source of inspiration for me. Back then, you never dismissed my code but instead guided me on how to improve it. I still remember that to this day. You are truly an outstanding and kind person! Thank you so much!

Wishing you a pleasant life and a good mood every day.

Sincerely,
A graduate student from another country

Hi Shanze,

Thank you for taking the time to write this. it really means a lot.

It’s really nice to hear how the repository was part of your work, and I’m glad it helped you during that time.

I also appreciate you remembering those interactions. Open source is very much about people helping each other move forward, so I’m happy I could contribute in some way.

And again, thank you very much for your message. it gave me some extra motivation to keep working on the project.

Wishing you all the best in whatever direction you’re in now.

Take care,
Wilson
