i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

as such, i shall not ‘hop on a call’, nor will i ‘push my latest branch’. i cannot see past what i must create now, chum. the snow falls soft on these balcony rails, like some wild flower, a dream of a Paris meant to be. i will never ask ‘can everybody see my screen’ again.

you understand. be well

i write to you with solemn news. i am in paris, writing my life’s only masterwork. i spend my days drinking good espresso and smoking inexpensive cigarettes, writing clear and hard about what hurts. as such, i cannot ‘Log On’ - and friend - i will not attend your ‘laser-focused mesh network webinar’

i don't want to "do" anything with my life. i want to share making meals for my people. i want to nourish little sprouts into harvests. i want to care for the children of my best friends as though they are my own. i want to name the trees around me and learn the old names they gave they themselves.

well then? talk thy shit, as it were — speak in thy hushed & serpentine whispers, the heavy sibilance pouring from forked tongues in shadowed corners of umbrageous rooms. see if it brings thee comfort. see if it brings thee peace.

AI/LLMs are by design anti-labor technology. the aggressive pushing of LLM adoption by all levels of management is exemplary of this: you are not asked to use this tech because it will enable better work and ideas, but because it is cheaper to your boss than your coworker's salary

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

“I am now trying really hard to spend my money in ways that I hope will affect and improve the world around me both for myself and for others. None of us can do it alone. But I think there is hope if we do it together.”
I left Spotify after 9 years because of the CEO's autonomous weapons investment shit, but it's not really about Spotify individually at all. It's about trying to be better, and intentional, and asking yourself if you're making the world you want

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month

Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental
What I do - Robb Owen
From interaction design to scaleable design systems, single-page apps to something more experimental with WebGL. I help awesome people to build ambitious yet accessible web projects
