Today, open source reminded me of something strange… Value.
I may be a "small" contributor to Nats.io but apparently, that still counts. Who knew?

Somewhere in Germany, I received a parcel from the USA. Not tracked by religion, timezone, or bureaucracy, just pure recognition.

I build. I ask. I get answers.
And I wish more companies understood how rare and precious that is.

No SCRUM. No OKRs. Just trust, responsibility, and contribution. A glimpse of what leadership should look like.

And last week? In a call, face to face with execs and engineers alike. No hierarchy. Just humans. Refreshing. Disturbing. Beautiful.

While giants argue over politics and acronyms, I stand with the product. Because it simply works.

A single binary. No fluff. No bloat. Just elegant chaos in perfect order. A tool, not a solution. A playground for the dangerously creative. True engineering isn't loud, it's reliable, boring… and brilliant.

“Art is the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.” (George Eliot aka Mary Ann Evans)
