Self signed manifesto

This is a living document as long as I keep being a living person.

DevOps and front end developers adhere to lots of manifestos and extend lots of 
self signed certificates to get the job done. So I think it wont hurt to share m
y own mashup on those practices.

I call it a manifesto because it share some things with the ones you may find in
 the wild:

- Has many points that try to prescribe certain behavior that is assumed to be t
he new right way.
- It is idealistic to the point of being almost impossible to practice.
- It takes for granted the privilege of the signers without questions.

I call it self signed because, well, I'm the one who signs it and I am not tryin
g to coerce anybody to do it.

It is a remainder to myself and a way to share my wishes for an hypothetical fut
ure in which I grow enough food to feed my kids without being functional to any 
atrocity.

- We do not have to capture market share because we do not believe in such thing
s.
- We do not care about time to market because there is no spoon and no market an
d shaping a better future takes time and nurture.
- The quality of what we do is measured by the joy of the few closes that share 
it not by massive conformism.
- We do not have to solve scalability because we do at human scale.
- We do not have to solve discoverability because we know each other.
- We do not do what we do to earn a living because life is a gift not something 
one has to earn.
- Worse is worse and massive worse gets dystopian so we try to do what we think 
is better at a scale in which we can take responsibility for our mistakes.
- Every resource is a commons. So abusing any resource is abusing life and ourselves.
