One challenge having a long career in tech is living through multiple hype cycles of gold rush opportunism backed by VC cash infusions and influencer marketing. It all looks legit for a while, then there’s an inevitable crash when fortunes turn and people discover the emperor had no clothes.

@carlmalamud Hi Carl! I just happened upon your work via Mastodon. Coincidentally I recently finished re-formatting (as Markdown) and publishing (using GitHub Pages) my village’s charter and codefied ordinances. I focused on providing great typography and supporting deep-linking down the the paragraph-level. I’m now working on search functionality. Have any suggestions for other things I should be thinking about?
