坤喺澤上：臨卦嘅象。所以君子教導嘅意志無窮盡，保護人民嘅包容冇界限。開源維護者、車房導師、寫通訊話「嚟同我哋一齊砌」嘅人——呢個就係個模式。
反主流技術運動
Homebrew Computer Club——Gordon French 車房嘅第一次聚會
Gordon French 同 Fred Moore (1975)
1975年3月5號：Gordon French 喺 Menlo Park 開咗個車房。三十二個人嚟咗——工程師、學生、愛好者——睇 Altair 8800 套裝電腦。Fred Moore 寫通訊：「你自己砌緊電腦？如果係，你可能想嚟。」 呢個就係臨卦用矽體現：接近而唔帶優越感。唔使資歷，唔使學費，唔使守門人。下面係澤（喜悅溝通），上面係坤（無限接納）。呢個俱樂部唔係由上而下咁教——佢哋喺人哋嘅水平相遇，自由分享電路圖，一齊除錯。 兩條陽爻由下而上升起。Steve Jobs 出席過。Steve Wozniak 喺度展示咗 Apple I。但仲有：Tom Pittman、Lee Felsenstein、普通人建立非凡嘅嘢。嗰陣嘅能量係春天——光明返嚟，知識接近啲被鎖喺外面嘅人，大家**趁熱鬧**一齊搞事。 但第八個月嚟咗。到1986年，俱樂部解散。個人電腦變咗商業，車房變咗公司，免費分享變咗專有。冇嘢會永恆。但當佢存在嗰陣：homebrew 嘅精神播種咗一切。**水尾**到，但種子留低咗。
Historical Context
- Period
- 周朝
- Oracle Bone Etymology
- 澤（☱）喺下，坤（☷）喺上——喜悅嘅水由接納嘅土升起。
- Traditional Use
- 臨卦意味接近、壯大。兩條強爻由下而生長——光明嘅力量擴展。同十二月有關，冬至之後，光開始上升。但經文警告：到第八個月，會有凶險。成長有季節。

Practical Guidance
你而家喺春天。能量向你嘅方向移動——人出現咗，諗法啱咗，你砌緊嘅嘢有動力。好。呢個就係時候。
但 Homebrew Computer Club 教咗我哋：春天唔會永久。嗰個車房十一年後解散。唔係因為佢失敗——係因為佢嘅季節完咗。個人電腦由套裝變成品、由分享變成銷售、由車房去到 Cupertino。開始**發大**嗰陣，好多嘢都變咗。
長期成功嘅人唔係忽視呢個嘅人。佢哋係用春天能量去建立基礎設施嚟捱過春天之後嘅人。Wozniak 記錄咗佢嘅設計。Jobs 建立咗公司。Felsenstein 創造咗 Community Memory 項目。佢哋知道：當人記得點解聚埋一齊嗰陣，要捕捉個知識。
你喺臨卦期間嘅工作：教導要無窮盡，包容要冇界限。而家出現嘅新人——佢哋唔係真正工作嘅干擾。佢哋就係真正嘅工作。喺佢哋嘅水平相遇。自由分享。一齊除錯。建立慷慨嘅文化嚟捱過原始能量消退。
但都要：計劃第八個月。呢個成長階段會完。問題唔係會唔會——係你用咗時間用得好唔好。而家記錄。而家訓練接班人。而家建立唔依賴你個人春天能量永遠持續嘅系統。
車房會閂。你喺入面建立嘅嘢要麼持續要麼唔。呢個唔係悲觀——呢個係季節點運作。**水尾**會到，但你做咗咩，就留低咗咩。
