We Were Meant to Be: On Tech, Hype, Being Human, and Making a Future — Resources

"We Were Meant to Be" is about the state of the tech industry, how we arrived here, and how to be human, and a human in tech, in these times of change and uncertainty - and where to go from here. In this post, you’ll find the books, poems, and other sources I mentioned. This keynote was presented at a software engineering conference in May 2026.
