Why: Englebart's demo made people overlook the chording keyboard, and now we are still mostly stuck with QWERTY, a layout that takes too long to learn and doesn't take much advantage what humans are good at. I'm joking about Englebart, but I do like the line of thinking that computers can be powerful instead of faux friendly.

#23It's not cool at all. All the pain, the damages on the body. Sometimes the amputations. It's a lot of pressure to develop a software which has to decide if you are in danger right now and how to help. Anyway that's what we're doing and we want to do it right.

#24I'm working on a new way to visualize and edit code called Code Connect ( http://codeconnect.io ) We're leveraging Microsoft's new Roslyn compiler to break apart software into functions.

#25It's a screenplay search engine. I couldn't find any adequate resources out there so decided to build my own. I've got much loftier goals for it, but all in good time.

#27Why is it cool: complete beginners are deploying their first ever websites with it, and experienced programmers are building cool stuff with it! I also really like using it for my own stuff and think static site generators and static apps have a huge future ahead of them. Especially if we can help building tooling to make static solutions easier to build and work with.
