I've been thinking more about this talk and I wrote down some of my thoughts: https://matthewtift.com/blog/caring-about-software-caring-about-people

Paul was right about solutionism. I wanted to dig into what that means for free software, values, and the unglamorous work that actually helps.

Caring about Software, Caring about People | Matthew Tift

What if caring about software is one way to care about people? Paul Cantrell's Minnebar talk challenged common assumptions about tech and solutionism. I came away thinking about values, free software, and where the work really begins.

@mtift @inthehands Could you please add alt text to this photo to describe it, so that people who are blind or low vision can know what the talk was about? I've written some for you below that you can copy and paste into the alt text field for your photo:

What tech lessons should we learn from the ICE invasion?
