Surfing In France, Podcasts, Photos, and Press Releases!

It was a quiet week this week, between Christmas and New Year, so this newsletter will be a little different.

We had 23 essays this year, from a very pleasantly diverse group of people. We began the work of merging the larger HeroPress Network back into this site, HeroPress.com. Life was chaotic, but moved ever onward.

This year more than ever we had people other than Topher working on HeroPress. Mostly little things, but more and more every month. This is great for the long term viability of the project.

I greatly appreciate the support of every single one of you over the last nine (9!) years of HeroPress. I hope we’ll have a great time together in the years to come.

HeroPress.com – Being useful to people, with WordPress – Être utile aux autres, avec WordPress

Quentin Le Duff is from Saint-Malo, France. He taught himself web development and got a job, but soon questioned what he was doing with his life and why.

Over time, I felt less connected to the agency’s decisions and the kind of clients they had. I wondered about the meaning and impact of my work. Was I making things better for people? Was what I did ethical? In the end, did it really matter?

Quentin’s essay is available on HeroPress.com.
