In computing, a bit is the smallest unit of information. It carries no inherent meaning on its own — only what the system assigns to it. And every bit is identical. Equal. What they become depends entirely on context, combination, and the people who decide how to read them.

That felt like an honest analogy for people too. Not an idealistic one — an accurate one. The value of a person doesn't come from their gender, origin, religion, or who they love. It comes from what they build, how they show up, and what they contribute to the systems around them.

All Bits Equal isn't a slogan. It's a premise I try to hold consistently — in the products I build, the teams I work with, and the spaces I want to see more of.

Games are one of the few spaces where the usual barriers genuinely don't have to apply. You're defined by what you do inside the game — not by where you come from, what your body looks like, or what language you grew up speaking. Someone on the other side of the world, navigating a body that limits what they can do physically, playing in a different alphabet — they can sit at the same table, fight the same fight, build the same world.

That's not a small thing. That's the kind of levelling that should exist more broadly, and rarely does. I find it worth building toward.

Professionally, it shapes how I think about accessibility, internationalisation, and the assumptions baked into user experience decisions. Inclusive by default, not by afterthought.

Personally, it's just the world I'd like to live in — one where people can come together, enjoy things together, and build something worth having. Together. That's what I'm working toward, in whatever way I can.
