I believe we are arriving toward a very dangerous avenue. The decision to hand over the entire FOSS ecosystem to one company is upon us, and we are doing nothing about it.

We are all motivated by common incentive structures.

Admittedly, I don’t have a lot right now. But I am working to make sure we have the right people to work with us to free this industry from its shackles. You cannot be afraid to ask. Do not be afraid to admit you don’t know everything.

I don’t trust the freedom of software distribution enough to encourage young builders to build while working, or build on a platform that is centralized. Buildbook pushes for decentralization because we understand how important it is to have an ecosystem that caters to this world in the future.

We cannot allow a multinational corporation own the FOSS environment. There is no security with this level of potential censorship apparatus. Builders will not be confidence in their ability to build outside organizations. We need more founders. Visionaries. Risk takers. I will enable that.

Consistency is horsepower. Persistency is torque.

Giving up is easy. Consistency is hard. I am consistent even when faced with denial, failure, or silence.

The underlying cost of failure is paid back in perpetual success thereafter.

Don’t just read the books, understand them.

It takes multiple magnitudes of rejection to eventually formulate a winning method.
