Oh, hi ho! It has been brought to my attention that everything is bad and nothing matters. Yet still I endeavour to create joy and reduce our collective suffering. If this is impractical, it is only because some people don’t want to, and the rest of us don’t want to enough.
For 20 years I’ve been building thoughtful software to solve real problems that actual people have. (Big Tech & VCs, take some notes!)
