Ignites
summary
A developer quits a financial‑services role after a retirement‑projection project highlights climate risk and now volunteers with Mercy Volunteer Corps in Detroit, working with a Financial Empowerment Center and homelessness support to mitigate inequity; a parent pairs DevOps practices with a $65 BBC micro:bit kit with 5–10 minute projects, using small batches and limited WIP so a six‑year‑old can code, deploy, test and iterate; a systems overview gives practical anti‑complexity tactics: contain complexity, push to edges, invest up front and argues for vigilance against creeping duplication.
