- officialchicken 10y agoThank you for that perspective... from a graying beard. Unfortunately the social potential of the _idea_ of software and APIs is so much greater than its IRL application and usage. But congratulations nonetheless, it seems you have adopted the hacker ethic (re: OSS-as-duct-tape) and that's a great first step even if it's your only one!
