One more thing.
I’m Gabriel Chen.

I build software, and the communities around it. I help run the Christchurch branch of CITANZ and mentor at hackathons.

One more thing
January 6, 1998. Macworld Expo, San Francisco.
Steve Jobs ended his keynote with a surprise: Apple was profitable again.
In the years that followed, the surprise got a name — “One more thing.”
The best part was never on the agenda.
This is mine. One more thing, today.
