Maybe I’m getting older. I’ve started looking back.
While rediscovering – “Terence Trent D’Arby” – now known as “Sananda Maitreya” – I found out he stepped away from the show business to produce music independently, in the name of creative freedom.
It got me thinking: isn’t something similar happening in the software world?
A field that increasingly feels like a show business, where some of the original dreams and values seem to have faded away.
Hacking is often confused with cracking.
Projects are considered “interesting” only if they translate into dollars.
(Did we really just invent AI the day ChatGPT came out?)
I’d love to see new charismatic figures emerge in tech.
A new counterculture and not these pathetic start-up founders of the null.
