59. Stop building server-side applications.
Assume that data are anywhere and/or everywhere.
Assume that your software will be run in many places.
Erase your distinctions between server and client.
Let data grow branches - build trees (ie. Merkle DAGs)
Stop thinking of data as singular.
Stop thinking of datasets as monolithic.
Embrace redundancy & replication.
Understand that trustworthiness and authority are dynamic.
Broaden your sense of “now”.
Appreciate provenance.
there are no servers
there is only the web
