First of all, Homeworld was an iconic game for me growing up, so as other people have said, thank you for being apart of its creation.

I could not agree more. It feels like the creativity is back. I grew up building fun little websites in the 90s, building clan websites for Quake 2.

That creativity died somewhere between Node.js, AWS, npm, and GitHub.

Some might say, well, that's growing up and building serious apps.

Maybe. But it doesn't change that I spent the last 15 years doing the same frontend / backend wiring over and over again to churn out a slightly different looking app.

The last 2 years have been amazing for what I do. I'm no longer spending my time wiring up front ends. That's done in minutes now, allowing me to spend my time thinking about solving the real problems.
