Distributed. Unannounced. Already here.

It just doesn't have a flag yet — and honestly, that might be its best feature.

No burning anything down. Just the quiet exit, pointed at your paycheck.

I'm teaching exactly that, free, on July 8th — no code, no expectations.

And the AI everyone's bracing against? It's a tool. You can let it be the thing that replaces you, or you can turn it around and aim it the other way — use it to build the proof that you don't need them. A portfolio. A real page. Your skills made visible to anyone who'd pay, built in an afternoon.

The off-ramp is the same move it always is. Your expertise didn't vanish; it was just rented to a single buyer. The job was one rental contract for one slice of what you know — and there are other buyers who can't find you yet.

Your income is the same kind of system — and most of us run it with exactly one point of failure. One employer. One rate. One set of terms we didn't write.

We've said this a hundred ways: never let any one thing you depend on become a single point of failure. We say it about food. About power. About the grid. About wealth.

That's the whole pattern — our societal system teaches you dependency right up until the day it doesn't need you anymore, and then the floor's gone and somehow that's your problem to solve.

The shelf keeps rearranging itself. You just keep paying rent on shelves.

Taking control of your stuff isn't a tech flex or a rejection of modernity. It's a small computer, a hard drive, and one afternoon — a container you actually control, where what you put in stays until you decide otherwise.

I'm teaching a 90 min course on building exactly that. No code required. AI does the heavy lifting. You leave with a working site. You own the content and the data.

Solarpunk allows people to envision a different future than the dystopia that is typically sold to us. It's a way to recapture the imagination and the narrative.

I wrote this adjacent article on the importance of narrative.
