I am a Gen X dude (he/him) who has been online since the days of 300 baud acoustic couplers; I cut my teeth, like everybody else in the early 1980s, programming BASIC and 6502 assembler while listening to the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and LBC's Nightline on the radio; these days I'm into Go, SwiftUI, TypeScript, et al, and my tcp packets arrive via an optical-fiber cable (FTTH FTW).
I'm married with children. La famille avant tout.
If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend that you read Albert-László Barabási's Linked, Douglas Coupland's Microserfs, William Gibson's Neuromancer, Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, and Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motocycle Maintenance. I prefer the radio series to the books when it comes to Douglas Adams' H2G2.
I'm taking a hiatus1 from direct involement with the #IndieWeb community because reasons23.
Footnotes
-
a very extended hiatus ↩
-
dogma, groupthink, confirmation bias, hypocrisy, lack of resilience, diminishing relevance, and most especially pushback from #indieweb-dev (who are more cult than community with your silly shibboleths) ↩
-
in discussions with people, it is clear that I am not the only person who has had these issues; I'm not Drinking the Kool-Aid. ↩
