about

Developer ecosystems, standards, software, and the public work around useful tools.

Chris Chabot has built and led developer programmes across Google, Twitter, Apache, Web3 infrastructure companies, and AI-focused developer products. His work sits at the intersection of product, documentation, community, ecosystem strategy, and technical credibility.

This site collects writing on developer ecosystems, authentication systems, coding agents, and the social machinery around software, alongside pieces on cloth, walks, place, and taste.
