An ongoing highlight of my career has been working with Sean to build products that respect our users. At Matter, Sean’s leadership in this area has challenged us in the best ways, and he has set a bar that I will measure against for the rest of my working life.

This is very much worth a read. https://scoat.es/@sean/112174277905316470

For the past ~2 years, I’ve been working on a neuroscience startup (called Matter). We have an app that—by its nature—needs to operate on private user data. Some of that data is so private that we never actually want to handle it ourselves. So we don’t. We can’t leak data we don’t have. We can’t mishandle private info that never leaves the control of the user. We’re taking a mostly-unique approach to user data at Matter, and I’ve finally written a little bit about it: https://seancoates.com/blogs/matter-and-privacy
