— Assorted quotes by Paul Ford, writing about boring technology:
Disruption is an ethos for the bored, for people who live in reasonable climates and don’t have tanks in the street.
And:
You can’t just say “software is eating the world” and chill. Software already ate the world, and digested it, and pooped out a new world, and that’s where we’re living.
And:
Stability is my new best friend. Not the big stuff, the UN-level stuff. Leave that to the smart macro-thinkers with European accents and interesting all-weather clothing, or the sad Americans with Substacks.
Paul Ford is always a joy to read.
