Dune got it wrong: cynicism, not fear, is the true mind-killer.

At least fear can motivate you to do something. Even if it's the wrong thing, you might learn from it.

Cynicism is the anti-motivator. It says hope is a lie, trying is useless. It says good isn't worth looking for.

I'm revamping "Good Tech Things" to be a source of anti-cynicism in tech: a place to celebrate the joyful, helpful, and just plain fun things people are building with technology.

Good Tech Things · Cynicism is the mind-killerBy Forrest Brazeal

@forrestbrazeal Thank you for writing this. It's so, so easy for me to indulge in cynicism, and it's not good for me.

What I instead want to do: Get more into personal web development, start doing fun things with my website, indie web stuff.

If I come over any good things while doing that I'll give you an @.
