Wayne's 2026 phlog: Why Gopher still matters
Why Gopher in 2026?
Wayne, a longtime tinkerer, explains his attraction to Gopher in 2026: it's for people who need to know how tools work, not just use them. He sees his 17-year-old and friends with ADHD seeking refuge from modern tech's noise, and reflects on how flip phones were once cutting-edge. Tech today is both helpful and unhelpful—subscriptions everywhere, constant changes, profit-driven direction—making spaces like SDF feel like a throwback worth preserving.
I think tech is in a weird place that is both super helpful and yet so unhelpful at the same time.
