The actual thought I wanted to share is this:
I’ve just created what might be the first proper .com as in company gemini site
which mirrors
Why? Because after 8 years of employment at the same company, and ~20 doing things with computers for money, for other people. I am no longer gainfully employed, and thought it about time I set out on my own.
Do I expect to get paying consulting gigs via the gemini site, not really. But it felt worth doing, as there can be such a thing as an honest trade, of selling your wares without it being insane consumerism.
And while this space is tiny, perhaps someone wants something someone else can offer.

I don't know if anyone here has the combination you need: lack of computer skills, money, and the desire to burn it.

Sorry to hear about your recent loss of employment. I hope the venture is successful

I'll keep your site in mind as I'm looking for skilled architects for a project I have had as an idea in mind. I my self lack good designing and engineering skills and struggle with the application of my ideas.

@stack in this community, no. Though it felt like what the earliest companies on the web must have. Putting something out there with basically zero idea that it would go anywhere. TBH the http version doesn’t feel all that different.

Personally I am at a point where writing code/apps/services for this community is perfection.
I love having like 20 daily users. It's in like a country store. With no money at all
