Building bridges, not gates.
Making tech accessible. What we build should outlast us.

🤣 The image helped. I originally read that as “you know, we’re all gonna die someday. We’ve made our peace with it all.”

Then I saw the picture and understood the venue.

Our labor is “invisible.” When some guy’s job is to move dirt around, you can see that. You can feel how heavy it is and understand the labor. But because there is no pile of dirt in front of us, people don’t see us “drowning.”

I’ve thought about this a lot over the years.

I’m thinking of companies I’ve done business with and worked for. Like grown people, executive directors, VPs, C-level. It’s always disappointing. You hope the pressure of those jobs refines the person but not always.

Thanks for being transparent about it. Not that often people are real about infra changes.

I’m going to block you now because you’re nit picking what this isn’t even about and you’re kinda a dick.

I think you’re confusing a privately owned VPN with a larger VPN service or the onion router TOR.

And maybe the point isn’t clear but the goal of a VPN is to keep your browsing private from network operators.

And this is affordable and teachers others.

What is your intention?

At face value, it’s fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
