      "Communication is not what you say, it's what they understand."
      
      This quote legitimately shook me from the ConTejas Code podcast where it immediately explained why people like my talks as much as they do: I instinctively/subconsciously make sure they understand, not just that I speak.

      I don't want us to replicate what we have today. I want us to replace it. We don't need to build centralized services that scale to billions of users. We need to build billions of services that scale to a single user.

      What if this wave of AI tools enables us to regain control over our data and replicate the majority of SaaS services we pay for today. We've already solved the distribution problem and the open source community has the ability democratize the tech stack. 
      
      That would be one hell of a power shift.

      thinking about doing a video about object storage for people who are too embarrassed to admit they don't really understand it. I feel like a lot of folks just see it as a durable filesystem up in the cloud somewhere.
