As someone with no FB account, the assumptions of social death often leave me a bit bemused.

I made an early fairly private choice that I didn't like the nature of FB. It wasn't a particularly technical or privacy related choice, but a kind of hunch-y ethical one. Something about the way MZ talked about it alerted me to something.

Absolutely nothing bad has happened to me as a result. I'm socially connected and totally OK.

Two months into learning how the system worked so she could rewrite it, Rather realized she could get more done in a few hours of this undocumented Forth minicomputer system than she could in a week of hacking Fortran on big-iron mainframes. She quit her consulting job to work on the telescopes full-time and wrote the first Forth manual. Within a year she and Moore co-founded Forth, Inc.
