My software developer and tech savvy cohort, unite! Unite in a public service mindset and "expert in service of community" as described by Dan Hind in the #TechWontSaveUs interview hosted by @parismarx
The "expert in service …" part is first mentioned at ~11:11 though Dan was building up to a point when he finally says it, so rewind a bit if you want more context (or listen to the entire episode, it's on of my favorites and informs my current calling as a programmer).
