@preslavrachev @aral It's a good thing to try doing something very different from the traditional search engines. Focusing on a different kind of use cases allows you to serve the underserved communities better.

@preslavrachev Both are serving people, one brings the money to pay the bills, another brings the joy of making a positive change in the world. Very few have the opportunity and priviledge to choose a low paid hobby project instead of a well paying enterprise job. |
@autiomaa @aral precisely! Call me a techno-activist. While I’ve spent (and still spend some) a significant portion of my working time serving the IT needs of big corporates, I hope to have found a way forward for myself and others, that allows us to sustainably build things that matter to our personal values. It’s not easy, getting yourself off the enterprise clalws, but it feels way more fulfilling.
