Lifeform User Story

As a lifeform
I’m not here to be dominated, to “earn” my “living,” and to see my habitat destroyed
so that I can be exploited by a primitive species.

For the ethics-minded in tech, that may be the one user story for us to tackle.

About Me

I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a web developer, manager, and author. I’ve been working as a technical lead and engineering manager for companies you’ve never heard of and companies you use every day, I’m an occasional contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.

I love trying things, not only in web development and engineering management, but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my experiences and views. (I value you being critical, interpreting charitably, and giving feedback.)
