I build open-source software and make little gadgets. From a time when email was cool. Hard to distinguish from a good programmer.

Instagram: "End-to-end encrypted messaging will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026." Ah... the end of end-to-end encryption. Great news for anyone who always felt their private messages just weren't being ad-targeted and monetized enough.

Doctor: "You should really try to avoid stress" Ah yes, of course. Right after I finish following my financial advisor's strategy of "just be rich". Amazing how many complex life problems can be solved with absolutely no actionable steps.

We spent decades building beautiful, opinionated, deeply optimized native UX toolkits, obsessing over font rendering, input latency, accessibility, window management, IPC, power usage... ...and then went: "Yeah, but what if we just shoved everything into a sandboxed document viewer pretending to be an OS?"

Electron is proof that given enough RAM, any mistake becomes a platform.

Nazi Germany didn't start with camps.
It started with loyalty tests, enemies within, attacks on the press, and people saying "this won't last."

It was built while people waited for it to get "bad enough" to matter. Waiting was a decision.

If this feels uncomfortably familiar right now, that's not an accident.
