The imprecision is maddening; the way it runs over decades of work is pure colonialism. Coding culture used to loathe “marketing words” and revere specificity; the bullshit nature of this framing is proof that these are money guys, not tech guys.

The dehumanization is unreal.22 May 2026 18:11 +0000at://did:plc:sg2e2kqdsdp2q2zl44txadbp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmhjvkifgc2lhttps://blacksky.community/profile/anildash.com/post/3mmh5rpjbic24introduce yourself with 10 bands / musicians you've seen live… hmm, let’s see James Brown Sly & the Family Stone Stevie Wonder The Pointer Sisters Olivia Rodrigo Tracy Chapman Living Colour Wu-Tang Clan (all 9 guys!)
