This is one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about the Linux thing. It's really been... I was about to say a journey of a lifetime. That's probably actually fair. I haven't had that many platform changing. I'm just going to mix it all up. I'm going to take 20 years of ingrained muscle memory about where the Apple key goes with copy and rewriting that to the control key.

That has been a ton of fun. And building all this tooling we've built to get out of the cloud has been an amazing amount of fun. So I actually don't think I'm going to stop thinking computers are fun. Like I just fundamentally really like computers. Like they are just on my days off, whatever, on a weekend occasionally.

I was like, I just want to go like type on my little keyboard like for a while. I just want to, I'm going to fix a bug. I'm not even hit by the bug. I don't even fucking care about the bug. I want to hear clickety clack from a mechanical keyboard. I want to commit something. I want to push it. I want to do a release because it's just freaking fun and I enjoy it.

So I don't think that part is going to go away. Again, Matt, if you're listening, short of just fucking putting static typing into Ruby, not going to happen, man. I'm going to stay on Ruby 3 version or whatever before that until the end of time. The other one that's more likely is that it stops becoming possible to run things independently.

That you have to run on, say, a hyperscaler and release through an app store. Then I'm out. Like I don't want to do that. I don't want to go through multiple layers of permission. I don't want to have to beg fucking Cook about whether I can release a new idea into the wild, whether I can release software. So as long as we can keep the internet strong, and I think that's not as obvious of a –

premise as i would have assumed and advocated for it being in like 2008 like the internet is under pressure from a lot of different forces and this idea at the very least of a global internet seems more or less over like we are fracturing the internet at an alarming rate and okay maybe that can happen and maybe we just have to accept that like

At some point, like there's going to be a European internet, just like there's a Chinese internet, just like there's halfway Brazilian internet. And they're not kind of connected, or at least they have very severe firewalls that prevent things from going back and forth. I hope that America is not getting there. I don't take it for granted, though, and I don't think anyone should.

If you care about the internet in its sort of original ethos and form, I think you're going to have to get ready to fight for it to some extent. What does that mean? I don't fucking know. I don't want to get into it. political about that in any way. Just this idea of appreciating what we have and realizing how unique it is. The internet as a software distribution platform is truly one of a kind.

If you had explained it to any VC today, they would have gone like, yeah, but where's the toll booth? Can we just install one around the whole thing or do you have five at different corners? How do you do it? How do you capture all the economic activities that's coming out of this thing?

And the fact that we ended up with such a powerful platform that wasn't owned by any individual company and backed by any individual VC is just mind-blowing. And I think it's You only realize how unique and rare it is when you look at the regression we've gone through with the app stores. That to get software onto mobile phones, it's not like that at all.
