If you're in #tech and struggling to figure out what your career look like now — this piece is my answer. You've heard "it's here to stay" or "it's better than nothing."
Reject these frames.
Look at the system being built around you. Manufacturing validation for "inevitable" success. Rewriting our roles from human-centered creative to featu…

See what is happening, not what is supposed to happen
The stories we are telling around user research and LLMs have locked us into a doomed framing. Reject the very notion that it is "better than nothing."

This is really interesting b/c of the framing we're always given for the Roman Empire vs the middle ages:

J. Draper — The Collapse of the Roman Empire, or, Why were medieval people more primitive than the Romans?
The Romans had civilization- wine and aqueducts and roads. Why did we go backwards in the medieval period?

I do think that this framing isn't fully correct. "Open Source" often has a libertarian (and therefore explicitly non-left) bend. It can be put into left thinking and politics but it works just as well in more right-wing logics. (See Golumbia, Cyberlibertarianism)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the very idea of Open Source was always a radical left leaning ideological stance. You're GIVING AWAY labor to the tune of millions of dollars because of some notion that we'd all be better off together if we didn't have to re-write the same dang components over and over again. Of course members of the Open Source community are going to get political. We always have been.

No Fishing on this morning walk...
(From a beautiful and positively frozen Sunday AM in late 2022... I shared those images already back then, but hey...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

A small narrow pier fully covered in snow, in a completely frozen over lake in the woods. Snow covered branches reaching in from all sides, providing a nice framing. The cold bright light perfectly matches the peaceful frozen mood of this calm morning.
The golden glow of the early morning sun is breaking through the bare trees on a hill slope in a wintry beech forest. A dense patch of young trees, still with their dry rusty leaves on. They're almost fully snow covered near the ground, the sun just partially reaching them. Vanilla sky.
