Our adversaries do not have our innovators, our senior leaders, and our technologists. Big thinkers and doers who will forecast the creative solution to tomorrow’s conflicts.”
No, your old enemies have their own, and the many new enemies you are making are the same.

The article focuses more on the evolution of civic tech, and how they think about their relationship with govt. Some concluded that early theories of change (eg relying on open source principles) were insufficient and they needed to be in govt to make change.

3. Political reality (the hard part)
You need movements, not just ideas.
Activists, lawyers, ethicists, technologists, and ordinary people pushing together.

Unsolicited advice - if bsky corp creates user-friendly interfaces for non-technologists to create feeds and moderation tools, users wouldn’t default to yelling at your team (as often). Eg a “build” button next to the settings icon. (Easier said than done of course)

The best that can be said of today’s tech technologies CEOs as they are date rape technologists.

Perfect observation by @afreedma.bsky.social on this piece! There were way too many AI data center/power events to choose from at New York Climate Week. Also, there's a mismatch between our current reality and clean energy targets. Let me explain 👇

A timeline of creative technologists risks preserving celebrated outputs while losing the workshops, bugs, obsolete tools, and shared play that made the role legible. Could it document failed experiments and informal teaching as part of the lineage, not only finished projects?

Over years of working among both journalists and technologists, I have noticed a shared tendency: Neither camp is especially interested in its own history. We live in a culture that prizes innovation yet is often dismissive toward the past, as technology historian David Edgerton has argued.

Yup. And they are bad at conversational interaction according to the principles of good conversation.

Because the incentives are so out of whack, designers and technologists are failing to apply standards of quality and performance developed over decades.
