A bit ashamed to admit that I was still a @spotify user, but proud to share that’s no longer the case.

Chose @TIDAL because:
1. One of the highest $/stream payouts to artists
2. The UX of the app is good (better than Spotify imo)
3. Easy data migration with @soundiiz (for $)

Use the force. Be attuned to the universe. Especially on things that really matter, like this.

You know what, fuck it. I still don’t think I’m informed enough to make a statement, but I can’t discuss it without projections or demands being made.

Reminds me of this one found in Chicago. :)

OAuth has become the de facto standard for platform authentication and authorization and it’s in your interest (not mine) to adopt it sooner rather than later.

people think programming is a set of rigid instructions but in reality its actually a very personal and expressive form of art that really allows a person to show how deranged they are

Gardening is about claiming a small patch of the web for yourself, one you fully own and control
It shouldn't live on the servers of Twitter, Facebook, or Medium. None of these platforms are designed to help you slowly build and weave personal knowledge

I think the blockchain crowd is trying out a pivot to claim that their critics don't understand all of technology generally, rather than blockchains specifically?

I assure you, that is not the case. And once again, our skepticism is because we *do* understand.
