A rant on products without purpose
A rant on products without purpose
Potential in place of purpose is what separates an iPad from an iPod, blockchains from databases, and generative AI from text editors. The more complex the product, the more potential it has to have potential. The more it can distract from it's own lack of usefulness.

thanks! I had to squeeze one out to avoid a whole year passing since my last blog post. Hopefully will keep 'em coming from here on. Settled nicely in Amsterdam now
Nice one :) I’m surprised you didn’t work this one in somewhere there
I am going to keep that for a future one for sure. This stuff needs an anthem
haha, thought you'd enjoy it
I can't help think of this song whenever I hear about the day's new tech product that has the potential to change the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BngCSGJJNo

What is the publishing platform you are using? I have been looking for a plain and clean good looking long form publishing for some time.
looks like wordpress with a custom "faw" theme
Oh nice.. Thanks. Let me take a look.
that's correct. faw for faster and worse. I keep it in a public repo if you're interested. (I don't maintain it like a public repo, though. so lemme know if you have questions) https://github.com/stevesydney/faw
welcome back Steve! I have got to get some of my writing into readable shape too.
Hey, thanks! Sorry to respond so late. I have been locking myself out of socials during the week to get stuff done. I just published a new one too, so it's working :)
