I’ve carried this for years. Today, it’s out in the world.
Code is Just began as a live Twitter thread in 2021. I didn’t plan it, I didn’t edit it — I just wrote, line by line, as the story came. What started as a list of my old game credits became something else: a story about justice, survival, and finding a voice through code.
The thread took on a life of its own. It was shared widely, praised by broadcasters and developers, even optioned for TV. But what people asked for most was a clean, complete version of the whole thing.
That’s what I’ve released today:
Download Code is Just — The Compiled Edition
(Pay what you want, including free.)
At its heart, it remains what it always was:
Code doesn’t lie.
Code doesn’t cheat.
Code is just.
Congratulations on getting this out there! I remember running across this on Twitter and what a read it was!
