I remember working on early robotics in the 90s that I thought were going to help disabled people have better access to everything. I wrote software to help kids learn about programming. I wrote software that helped communications protocols that I thought would bring isolated people into the world. Fuck I submitted Linux kernal core code in the goddamn 90s!
I was A BELIEVER. Like a full on fucking zealot. I was a priestess in the cult of Fully Automated Luxury Communism 25 years before that stupid ass book was even written. I wrote essays is print Linux magazines about cooperation changing the world. I built computer educational programs for underprivileged children. I wrote software languages. I built robotics programs. I started multiple tech companies. My twice dead name is on all kinds of shit from that age.
And if I could go back in time and burn my entire history to the ground I would do it in a hot minute because fuck all of that naive and childish bullshit. It was all a fucking scam.

I'm so fucking stupid.
I actually remember when RedHat went IPO. I remember thinking that was a sign of success. Like finally we were getting somewhere. Making a difference. Our vision was becoming a reality that was accepted by the broader world.
I actually thought we were winning.
I'm so fucking stupid.
