A small matter of programming: perspectives on end user computing

End-user Programming

A vision for empowered computing that reaches back forty years. Our research lab examines why it has been so hard to achieve.

Things end users care about but programmers don't

A list of things I've noticed are important for end users but hard for programmers to understand or implement

Feeling of Computing

Feeling of Computing is an online community with a welcoming, cooperative, and revolutionary spirit. We are unified in the belief that the computer is tragically less humane than it could be. There’s a world of possibilities that get more beautiful the further away from the norm you go. We’re here to explore this world together, to discuss ideas about theory and practice, and to champion and support our members’ research and development efforts to reimagine the computer.

Where Did Software Go Wrong? | Jesse Li

Software is broken, but it's not because of NPM, startups, AI, or venture capitalists. A deep dive into how we think about and produce code, and how our software systems reflect the manic state of the modern world.

Convivial design heuristics for software systems

The theme of this workshop is the proliferation of ideas about calling into question the cultural roots of our current programming languages, and the search for alternative paradigms with other cultural bases.
