What a well written article! It was as much an ad, a tutorial, a dream, and a plea for the future. The art was amazing at adding to the narrative. And it was exciting to discover and play with after. The Jobs quote really made it clear what the thesis of the article was (which I thought the author still danced around a bit). The final section changed tone and where I think the author’s true point became clear. I really like this vision of self-hosting and I think it’s way more inspiring than “avoid SaaS and gain privacy”. It’s also a great pitch for their product, as it happens. It’s a fantastic pitch for any self hosting stuff beyond reclaiming privacy. This line really stood out to me: > Ah technology. Just when you get cynical, something like Midjourney turns us all into children again. As a growing adult working in tech, I feel like I’m often chasing that childhood feelings from holding and playing with technology. I think that’s why certain technology (often more hype than reality) catch our attention and drive discourse: they’re the ones that leave us like children playing and exploring something cool.
