As an alternative experiment, I created a wiki exclusively for escalator pitches. Here's mine: http://futureofautomation.wikidot.com/mu The benefit of a wiki to me is that there is (hopefully! haven't checked wikidot yet) a way to get notified when people update docs. I'd love to have some peripheral awareness of how people are reimagining what they do. Who's coming 'closer' to me in phase space, and who's moving 'away'. If this seems interesting I'd love for people here to create pages for themselves. I'm going to follow all pages created. A word on the URL. It comes from the conversation on Saturday where Steve Dekorte helped me see that there may be divergent needs for two broad categories of use cases: creators and automators. I definitely find myself very clearly on one side of that divide, and that's reflected in the URL. However, I don't intend to exclude creators. I just wanted to leave 'futureofcoding' available for the community here to take charge of, in case we decide to stick with this experiment. Bottomline: I'd love for everyone here to make a page for themselves, whether they fit into this very fuzzy categorization in my mind or not.

I'm cringeing at the language on Wikidot's front page: "Build off of" 🤪 "We got you covered" 😕 .. anyway, I guess we all have to live under the shadow of this kind of thing these days.. update: great idea to use this website, although many may prefer sites with more vanilla style and language, or none at all like Google Docs!

Oh I see, we should probably do something with the home page http://futureofautomation.wikidot.com. But meh, not worth thinking about while nobody's using it.

Ha! Nice answers in there - "Mu" - perhaps that's the concept @jonathoda was looking for when discussing "not applicable" versus "not available" data on Twitter recently! update: (meaning @Kartik Agaram's entries to the project spreadsheet with links to Wikipedia's page on "Mu")

Edited the homepage. Authenticity way up, aesthetics way down.

@Kartik Agaram I've updated my grumpy comment above 🙃 Unfortunately, on mobile the 6 questions over run into the page..

Yeah the home page is a shit show. It seems to not be a first class editable page, but have some special case CSS that I couldn't be arsed to understand. Hopefully not too important. But anyone else should be able to edit it once you make an account, those of you with greater stamina than myself.
