The presentation I’m watching from our friends at the Spritely Institute is by far the most entertaining tech nerd preso I’ve watched in months.

Thanks @cwebber, @dthompson, and the rest of the Spritely team for getting out there and doing the thing!

Something as seemingly simple as calling out trends focusing on scalability with rebuttals around “ability to scale down and/or scale wide” being as or more important than being able to scale up is just wonderful to see and hear, and as they point out in their presentation, “we need to be able to scale [up] to millions of users, billions of users” is very much centralization thinking. 

I’ve not made it a secret that I love the work these folks are doing, but this is why - they’re making concrete steps toward user-scale computing environments while so much of the workforce is being directed to focusing on corporate-scale computing. To hell with the corporations! User-scale is where it’s at, and this is one team that knows it.

If you’re in a situation where you can redistribute even tiny sums of corporate funds towards valuable non-profits, please do keep https://spritely.institute/ in mind when it comes time for you to make monetary allocations. In my opinion, it’s some of the best-spent money you can find in all of tech today.
