Yes. I have little personal investment in the outcome of this culture war.

I suppose I've been a bit vague in the past so I'll give you a bit of detail. Y'ever heard of AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

Well... I wrote basically that, ten years before AWS did, in three months, for a startup that had no interest in bringing it to market. We wanted an internal microservices cloud, the companies that offered such things wanted waaaaay too much money, so I built one. The business we were actually doing worked out great and we sold the company. Then the culture changed and I left with my FYIFV money.

There are people who are good at bringing others together. They are people who are good at selling a vision. There are people (quite a few really) who are just flat out fucking useless. I'm none of the above. I'm an implementer. A gray man. A gets-shit-done guy.

If you ask me to change the world, you're gonna get a blank eyed stare.

I could be induced to take up the sword again if the job title was right. I've always wanted to tack CTO or CIO onto my resume. But I have already done my decades of crunch coding and panicky maintenance for tiny salary and lots of stock (which was worth it; goddamn was it worth it when we sold, even the people in the mail room made out like bandits). If I'm coming back to it, it's gotta be a good pitch. If you were Peter Thiel and you gave me carte blanche to crack the leftist cartel, I could do that. But we gotta do it right. Step one would be establish a bank. An actual, FDIC bank, and a payment processor, to muscle in on Paypal and Square, and quite frankly eventually Visa, in order to make the foundation of a true, right wing American Keiretsu. Step two of that is to grow that bank with the right pool of businesses. Legitimate businesses like guns. NOT websites like subscribestar (at first). You need a sufficient amount of activity to where it cannot be retaliated against with shenanigans at clearing level once you make the hop over to supporting the disfavored. This is why subscribestar was able to survive by moving over to processing that serves adult services sites (at an extortionate rate). Because the amount of money moved through those systems was too much for retaliatory shenanigans.
