Thomas di Luccio's personal notes on building sustainable, desirable, and resilient futures. Sun, 23 Mar 2025 09:06:03 +0000 https://thomas.diluccio.fr Sometimes, we let the machine hum louder than our own voice. Stepping away from the endless buzz showed me an empowering path toward a custom frugal way to share my thoughts. Less can mean more, leaving a gentle hush for true expression to bloom.

Growth has driven every career move I've made, and when learning stops, it's time to move on. Whether it's switching paths, refining skills, or embracing small habits like puzzles and reading, every step matters. Personal growth isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. One step at a time, toward a better future.

WordPress was the obvious choice for my blog—until it became a burden, pulling focus away from what mattered: writing. Now, it's time for change. A minimalist, resilient static blog will free me to create, not maintain. This is about reclaiming time, embracing better tools, and designing a future where tech empowers, not limits.

From political campaigns to product advocacy, my journey has been about mastering the craft and shaping the means to build something meaningful. Now, this blog will be my lab—a space to experiment, build, and tell stories. One step at a time, toward product leadership and desirable futures.

But it's time to break the cycle—time to do stuff and tell stories. Inspired by Aaron Francis' talk on publishing your work, I'm restarting this blog as an experiment in documenting, learning, and sharing. No grand plan, just exploration. Let's see where this journey toward desirable futures takes us.

Amanda Gorman's The Hill We Climb was more than poetry—it was a beacon of hope, a masterwork of words shaping the future. She is a wordsmith and change-maker, proof that language can create worlds. Now, it's our turn to wield words and enable new, better futures.

As I leave behind a job I loved, I carry gratitude: for the lessons in agility, resilience, and craftsmanship, for the people who shaped me, for the chance to grow. Change is uncertain, but staying still isn't an option. This chapter ends, and a blank page awaits. It's time to move on.

When you know better, you do better. Maya Angelou's words struck me—failure isn't just acceptable, it's necessary. Now, my focus is on knowledge, empowerment, and legacy. What will I create to help others navigate complexity? It's time to do better.

I struggled with imposter syndrome, feeling stuck between design and code. Then a friend called me a non-visual designer—and everything clicked. I shape concepts, not just interfaces. Words, ideas, and experiences are my material. With this clarity, I'm ready to create, to contribute, and to bring beauty into the world.

Face à l'épuisement des ressources et aux effondrements en cours, je questionne notre manière de créer. Ce blog explore comment concevoir des objets et services qui ne se contentent pas de limiter leur impact, mais participent activement à la reconstruction du futur.
