We used to have a good blogosphere going. But perhaps people are returning to their blogs? This means that we need to do the things we used to delegate to Facebook, Google and Twitter: networking, curation, discovery.
• write our thoughts onto our own blogs
• link to other bloggers
• pick up on posts elsewhere, comment on our own blog and link back
• if other people pick up on our posts, link to their replies
• make commenting as easy as possible for those without blogs

Please join! 😄

Being a good developer isn’t about writing good code. It’s about making tools that improve people’s lives without compromising their rights, freedom, and safety.

"I need privacy. Not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

You know what product packaging I like? Flour. It's usually just paper and adhesive, often unleaded, eminently recyclable or biodegradable. If want longer shelf life, you're expected to transfer it to your own non-disposable container. For whatever reason, the industry has never much felt the need to muck with that convention.

You've Got To Be Fucking Kidding Me With This, Charlie Brown

A lot of people claim that design is what makes big corporate platforms and apps successful but I'm skeptical. Maybe it has more to do with authority. Software that fits into a conventional idea of social order and patriarchy might be easier to trust.
