I had my website with funny photos and links to favorite websites live on the internet, and better yet, I could edit directly on the server. It’s safe to say WordPress, the platform now powering 40% of the internet, won that battle, but MovableType paved the way for Jamstack CMSs in the future. But, when it worked, it was magical.

Each major expansion in software development - automation (60s), productivity (80s), internet (90s), mobile (00s) - has been additive to the total stock of software in the world. The horrific explosion of the oil tank train that devastated Lac-Mégantic in 2012 was in no small part the result of demand exceeding supply.

Ironically the impetus for using PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN in Chrome was a 2012 Chrome bug (predating my time on the team, and I’ve been there a while) complaining that the updater was using too much CPU time. And fixing the background mode would avoid the need for the ugly large, red, bold-faced warning label.

This choice also inspired me to call my project Swift Papers.
