What do you do?

I build computer programs that are useful, easy to install, easy to run, easy to modify, easy to share.

Why?

I think our society would be radically improved if everyone shared a better understanding of how complex systems can interlock. It would cause them to make more of an effort to anticipate secondary consequences of interventions. Computers are a great way to explore this stuff.

What should we read?

"The Tiger by John Vaillant"
