Gahh I have an unwritten essay I've been turning over called "Year 0x0" and now I wish I'd done it. Digital == mutable state w/ very low cost to erase == whoever has root can reset the culture. As software eats the world, more of the culture gets easier to zero out by admins. https://t.co/kSIjVApXUv
