LOCAL DEVELOPER SHIPS THE FUTURE FROM HIS BEDROOM
By M. W. Allen — City Desk New York · Vol. XLIV

NEW YORK — The most interesting machine on the internet right now may be running in a bedroom on the Upper West Side. Miles Wolf Allen, a developer and 3D artist still in school, has been quietly shipping software that refuses to stay in one lane: emulators that swallow a dozen consoles, a drop-in replacement for Electron, and the demon list a whole community now treats as law.

"I don't start with the business model," Allen told this broadside. "I start with the hundred-megabyte apology — and then I try to make it unnecessary." Co-founder of Diskette Labs. Pull shark ×2. Mode: full send, still debugging. Asked what's next: "Whatever keeps the blank page scary."
