Media CTO in Austin, though here I speak only for myself. Used to run Video TechOps at IGN. One time I went to Timbuktu. When I'm not building media systems, I enjoy #cooking, #3DPrinting, #music, #cats, and sleeping. he/him

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.
