A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

I hope that they successfully build an auxiliary nix ecosystem which ultimately gets merged back and becomes the de facto nix tooling. Ironically this is exactly what they were accusing DetSys of doing (which I don't think is bad). 🙃

I genuinely believe that forks are a good thing, especially ones that create more net-energy put into things cumulatively. I just hope they remain collaborative rather than become adversarial (more restrictive license, intentionally break compat, etc).

Creating semantic money protocol no one knew they needed and building super boring products @superfluid.
