As I work on my own decentralised stuff, product is the biggest problem I solve for. We have tools, we have strengths, and we have weaknesses. We can contextualise these and provide a tool that becomes easier and better to use than their counterparts. Right now predominantly we live among the FOSS — in the same way you’d use ChristianMingle because the faithful are there. But distributed systems aren’t just for botnets and protein folding. They’re for recontextualising how this whole global network works. It may not be about one tool, one product. It may be about reconsidering everything, all at the same time. Network reset.
