arte, cura, humanitate
build with craftsmanship and care, do good
arte
- we pride ourselves on the quality of our work, delivering high quality, loving products
- no high-fructose corn syrup: we won't compromise our products with bad business models like web-only apps with gated subscription services
- products are understandable, fixable, and come with documentation and source code
cura
- we care about our customers, and the user experience of our product
- interfaces should be self-explanatory, enjoyable, and modular
- we don't ship unusable products for the purpose of being the first mover
- we don't want to create plastic tech detritus. we want our products to last long enough to far exceed their expected lifetime, and components to be reusable in the future
humanitate
- transparency in project selection (don't build killdrones)
- hmt people aren't implementers. they actively contribute to the design of the project
- engineer owned. hmt is a collective owned by the people who run and contribute to hmt
