Two key questions I always advise people to reflect on when they’re making new tech tools or platforms:

1. What happens if this succeeds? Does it make the internet better? The world better?
2. Who is harmed by the changes this causes? What would you choose to do if you loved them?

Every single choice gets easier if you know those answers.

RIP the man who was the absolute incarnation of XKCD's "one random dude holding up the entire internet". You may never have heard of David Mills, but your entire goddamn world depends on what he did.
