 At times, I feel like I'm wasting my time writing about and testing all of this stuff.

Whenever I begin to feel this way, I read this quote from A Cypherpunk Manifesto.


”Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down."

Then I remember why I'm here and I write a little more or try new software.
