Episode notes

I don't know many more passionate about the web than your Jeremy. Why do you love the web so much? It's funny because we were talking early about how the technologies and a medium like the web, it just amplifies. There's lots of technologies in the internet that are very good at instant communication - but there's other technologies that are better. So I'll lose other technologies that basically run over the web, over the internet. Yeah. And the web can kind of do a bit of everything, which is where it strengthens.

Jeremy Keith reveals how the web is neither good or bad, nor neutral, but an amplifier. He inspires us to not let the future be just something that happens to us, but rather something we make with the small things we do today. He encourages us to build software ethically with our users’ psychological vulnerabilities in mind. He motivates us to not build on rented land, but to publish using the superpower of our own URLs. He also shows us how looking to the past is just as important as looking to the future.
