Tonight in NYC, technologists, builders, and thinkers gathered to ask: what would it look like if software left us feeling nourished instead of drained? Introducing the Resonant Computing Lab — a fund dedicated to turning principle into practice. resonantcomputinglab.com

The same origin paradigm turns every app creator into a goblin jealously hoarding their data treasure.

A world of infinite software is post-software. Software will be so pervasive that it can be taken totally for granted. It becomes invisible by becoming ubiquitous.

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

Silicon Valley's lost decade: consumer ceded to aggregators, software "innovation" meant SaaSy CRUD for some vertical niche. We forgot software could be anything else. Infinite software means we can dream again.

What would it look like to decentralize apps? That app is the nexus of power because it is where the data lives. The app is at the top of the stack deciding what pixels to render. Decentralization at other layers doesn't matter nearly as much.

Most vibe coding tools produce Potemkin software. Demos great, falls over in the slightest breeze. We need infrastructure where strangers can refine vibe-coded software so improvements benefit everyone... yet it's somehow still safe with your private data.

Software should feel like a personal garden that grows for you, not something some stranger constructed.

Imagine software that doesn't feel like visiting the DMV, but like working with a master craftsperson who knows exactly what you need.
