I’m based in Germany, in my late 30s working in finance & operations at a SaaS startup. I’m not sure how I discovered you, but what I like is your stance on open source, open standards, etc. so I subscribed to your blog via RSS. I used to care more about this in the past, but have somehow been distanced and dragged more and more into closed systems. Partially out of convenience / time limitations, partially due to well done marketing (and I guess partially because my standards for UX have increased). However, I still care and value your opinion — you often have very good points and at least make me consider some of my choices more actively. I appreciate that!
