my life.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am an open source advocate for the preservation and modifiability of source code. I
|
||||
believe source code should be considered human knowledge as much as past knowledge and
|
||||
teachings were; it is how modern humanity survives and runs.<br>
|
||||
Source code being modifiable allows it to be adapted for use by anyone, whether to add
|
||||
features, harden it for increased security and/or privacy, or provide accessibility for
|
||||
disabled users.<br>
|
||||
I am also a modular design advocate for the ability to securely and robustly make
|
||||
changes to hardware and software without the entire system being affected.<br>
