like a BIOS screen. Incredible! Would love to do client work like this
in the future - just need a better portfolio… I'm very much split
between temporary, "superficial" front-env development work like this
and substantive, infrastructural work on personal information management
and how we use our computers from the bottom up. I need to put more time
in to be able to continue to do both, but I'm not sure if I'll ever have
time…

interest in programming language, small types, using simple tools and
doing things unix-first. there are so many OS capabilities we just don't
use on our systems - why use them? Has lots of great writing on
deliberately keeping things simple and monolithic - because that's sane
more of the time - though distributed systems work is equally as
valuable; just not as useful as it's considered.
