What I Value in 2026
I've been thinking a lot about values lately. Like what software projects value. Or what companies value. Even what companies ostensibly value. And of course what I value:
- Integrity, decency, authenticity, vulnerability. I want to be true to myself and others.
- Empathy, humility, generosity. I want to be kind, and treat others as I wish to be treated.
- Craft, pragmatism, rigor. I want to build things thoughtfully, and take pride in my work.
- Equanimity, temperance, contentment. I want to be level-headed, and feel that I'm enough.
I care about other things too. But these resonate with me most right now.
