We wanted to clarify and summarize the vision on how we best work together in a brief, yet delightful way. SLOs are better explicit than implicit. Work is best tracked in Linear.

At the same time, email is getting less relevant in everyday communication thanks to the rise of secure messaging platforms, Discord and Slack.

While veganism is often seen as a moral choice, I argue that it can inadvertently promote an ideology of animal supremacy that overlooks our interconnectedness with all life. We all—humans, animals, and plants—share the same planet. What one exhales is much-needed air for another. We are one living ecosystem. We are one.
