As someone like the author, I was a bit confused how quickly they brushed off the goals of this form of tech idealism. Hints at the problem, like star ratings for parks and ad blocking nightmares, but never quite reveals it. Is it that the author has been "enlightened" and now finds the old ways to be less morally superior? Now settling for the nostalgic hobby form to continue. I challenge this outcome. Yes, we are all pretty burnt out on moral outrage these days. Yes, some people will be frustrated, like your wife. Yes, progress feels slow (or backwards). But I still must continue, I see no other way forward.
