@jplebreton @darius @cypnk it's weird to think about this in contrast to how much of my adult life i've spent on things that are supposed to bootstrap people into being able to hack on stuff - and how much of that winds up just being a pipeline for creating technical professionals, while basic capacities are more and more just stolen from the vast majority of people by those same professionals.
@jplebreton @darius @cypnk i mean in a way so much is so much more accessible right now than it was it days of yore - arduino, linux systems full of language runtimes and compilers, microcontrollers that can run high level languages, tons of basically pluggable electronics platforms and kits, single-board computers...
...and yet somehow this seems to wind up as toys and primer materials for an increasingly rarified elite instead of democratizing anything.
