Chad Ostrowski is a bipedal mammal doing his thinking in an Indo-European language. He helps people live intentionally at entire.life and motivates them at ilike.earthclouds.best. He works for the fully distributed Innovation Consultancy Citrusbyte, building things with React and Ruby off Rails, and currently researching how to build distributed apps. Chad started building things on the web to satisfy his artistic desires, and still finds the mix of technical and creative thinking to be one of the most engaging aspects of the job. He mentors and teaches on the side, to help other newbies experience the joys of code. Lately he’s been contemplating how human society can mature as a whole to better take care of all people and tackle pressing global problems. He wonders if the distributed web has a part to play in this endeavor. Please advise.
