I owe you this. I owe this to the team.  I owe it to those who have read and believed in us.  We're a badass team and you'll hopefully have seen some of what we can do.  Those screenshots alone should blow your minds.

This is how it is.

When your life falls to pieces, when you throw away what used to be, you need to re-evaluate.  You need to work out who you are because that's different to who you were with somebody else.

I have done that, and here's who I actually am.

I'm a country boy, from a line of farmers on one side, smiths on another and engineers via my mother.  Time has come to accept and embrace that.  I have a plan and it's probably not what you expect.

In 3-5 years, I will be going home, back to the country and I'm going to retrain as a farrier with what I've saved over that period.  Then I've got fours years of grinding poverty through the apprenticeship to look forward to and then I will be what I always wanted to be.  I'm a maker.  I need to make things.  I hate offices, I hate aircon, I loathe meaningless projects that I'll never care about.  By the time I get done, I'll be in my mid-forties.  But I'll be in my mid-forties looking forward to my perfect life.  As opposed to the embittered old programmer facing only an eternity of doing the same shit.

However.  I am, as some of you know, one of the best fucking programmers ever to grace this planet and I intend to go out in style.

Our concepts are solid.  Our fundraising systems and internal comms are ideal and revolutionary.

We can and will do this, even if I have to do it alone, and it's going to be on my fucking tombstone.

"He changed things."

Faith will be the last virtual thing that I make, and the finest.

Who's along for the ride?  It's going to be wild.
