“If digital making has taught me anything, it’s that care, for both individuals and communities, is the main source of authentic value in software. Ironically, it’s something I still sometimes have to make a conscious effort to remember, because the digital medium makes it easy to fool myself when it comes to caring. I find that I’m still sometimes seduced by the computer’s ability to make physical the thoughts orbiting in my head. It seems that somehow the same qualities that make pixels on a screen appear to have weight, to be actual instead of virtual, also make it possible for software to appear caring in some ways, while missing the mark in others.”
