Technology serves us best as a tool rather than as a directive. As the human producers of technology, we are committed to:
- Venerating nature as powerful, vulnerable and curative;
- Respecting users of technology as living human beings, each of whom wishes and deserves to live a healthy and fulfilled life;
- Creating exemplary technology and design products that aim to minimize technological pollution, debt and junk;
- Building technology that furthers positive social transformation;
- Refraining from causing harm by releasing shoddy code and implementing misguided design;
- Valuing the importance of genuine, human connection and fostering trusting, rigorous and joyful human relationships in our communities;
- Using the technology we build as a medium for treating each other and ourselves well;
- Having the work we do be informed by integrity, knowledge and humor;
- Prioritizing opportunities to do purposeful work.
