I’m looking forward to seeing all the companies who are replacing juniors with AI, complaining in 5 years time that there is a lack of senior talent in the industry. As they say, “you reap what you sow”.

Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not "I need food" or "I need a job" but "I need the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment". What could this mean?

The right recording of The Mother We Share can still give me chills. (I have a rip very similar to this one in my library, but I'd never seen this video until tonight.)

Back in June, I gave a keynote at the “Identiverse” conference about app/website authentication with a focus on passkeys. The talk touched on values and an interesting story about open, standards-based collaboration. If you like my writing or my work, you’ll enjoy it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVad...
