Engineering — Thank You For Being a Friend

Thank You For Being a Friend

It's been one of those months, and by that, I mean one of the 663 months since I was born. This won't be a long post, because I only have two things to say.

Engineering — Ideological Resistance to Patents, Followed by Reluctant Pragmatism

Ideological Resistance to Patents, Followed by Reluctant Pragmatism

This article reflects on an ideological discomfort with software patents, a direct experience of patent aggression in the software industry, and the practical constraints faced by startups. It argues that while the patent system remains deeply flawed, defensive patenting can function as a shield in an asymmetric legal environment, especially for open-source innovators.
