It's my dream to raise software quality standards of the whole world. I want software to be known as reliable, productive, and serving humans rather than humans serving algorithms. I think it's crucial to focus constructively on how to get there rather than dwell on status quo.

In 2021 I'm allocating $100/month towards sponsoring programmers and other content creators. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long. For years, I've enjoyed directly supporting artists on Bandcamp; this is an extension of the same principle.

The minimum wage debate in a nutshell. I say turn it all the way to the right. Even better, give out Universal Basic Income, then there doesn't even need to be a minimum wage.

Hey @exercism_io, what about a @ziglang track? I'd be happy to lend a hand to make that happen.

It's a bit weird to me that @Donorbox and @funraise are for-profit entities. Are there any viable alternatives that are nonprofits themselves?

For example check the latency of the assets downloaded from raw.githubusercontent.com vs ziglang.org (cloudfront)
