I'm researching ways to give people more agency in computing, so they can compose, tweak, and even build their own tools. I'm currently a Computer Science PhD student at MIT in the Software Design Group, and I also collaborate with the Ink and Switch industrial research lab. Before that, I spent five years as an early engineer/designer at Panorama Education (YC S13). https://www.geoffreylitt.com/ (more)

Neil Mather: Collaborative memory palaces. I think I would like some kind of virtual experience where I have my own Memory Palace, the method of loci, the visual virtual space in your head where you walk through as you recall things. But not just for recall, for construction too. I would invite other people in and they help me build it and I help on theirs too, we build them together.

orig: Contributions to a source code repository that uses a distributed version control system (DVCS) are commonly made by means of a pull request, also known as a merge request.[9] The contributor requests that the project maintainer pull the source code change, hence the name "pull request". The maintainer has to merge the pull request if the contribution should become part of the source base. (more)

Dungeons & Dragons (abbreviated as D&D[2] or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). The game has been published by Wizards of the Coast since 1997. It was derived from miniature wargames with a variation of the Chainmail game serving as the initial rule system.[3] D&D's publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern Role Playing Game-s and the role-playing game industry.[4] D&D departs from traditional wargaming and assigns each player a specific character to play instead of a military formation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons (more)
