Prelude
I recently left my traditional job to ‘work in public’, among other things.
Part of the bummer about traditional work in private is that all your energy & output is trapped in a single opaque point of failure.
If any of 100 possible things go wrong along the multiplicative value chain, it all goes to zero, & your contributions are never heard from again.
