Future of Coding is an online community with a welcoming, cooperative, and revolutionary spirit. We are unified in the belief that the common practice of programming is tragically less humane than it could be.

Future of Coding

I just attended Linux Fest Northwest, and there were a lot of GNU / FSF people there. It got me thinking again about that community, and I think they're motivation aligns well with this group. They want software to be modifiable in ways that aren't legally encumbered, whereas this group wants software to be modifiable in ways that aren't unnecessarily complicated. I wonder how this group would modify the FSF's 4 user freedoms to align with the goals of the future of coding?

&gt;&gt;&gt;
Free [libre] software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.

I think the FSF is still fighting the last war. It's no longer about the source being available or having the legal right to distribute the source. The _quality_ of the source is now the critical bottleneck. FSF doesn't have much to say about that.

For sure. The GNU projects definitely aren't the most usable.
