I hope the culture we've developed will live beyond and outside the operating system we met on. I also do software for art. To me this is about breaking rules and mixing functionality from other lifetimes in new ways, and it's also about working with great people. The best art is unpredictable. Add two free people to the mix for an unpredictable result every time.
Software is about movement.
You don't stop after version 1.0. You keep going places, learning from people who use the software and developers who work with you, but also people who compete with you. The best teachers Part of the fun in software is the other side of the empty feeling in my competitor's belly when he sees the feature list for the next version of my software. It's the same excitement I feel when I do the same. It's an immature idea, but it's also proof that my inner child is alive and well, and I dig that.
