It’s time to rehabilitate the Luddites as guides for the present. They understood that the future is not written by the machine, but by those who wield it. To be a Luddite today is to refuse the fatalism of techno-inevitability and to demand that technology serve the many, not just the few. It is to assert that questions of labor, agency, and justice must come before speed, efficiency, and scale.
I'm Phil Craig, a digital architect and technologist from Sydney, Australia. Tiny But Loud is my personal space to save notes and explore new tools and technologies.
I'm currently CTO at The Energy, an independent publisher covering the energy transition. I also help the amazing team at Cancer Institute NSW with their digital products.
I'm a 'expert generalist' with hands-on skills in product design, prototyping, innovation and agile delivery. I enjoy helping teams build simple solutions that solve complex problems.
