dojo4 manifesto

Nature and wilderness are the source.

There is no substitute for genuine human connection and community.

*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
