About Us
The Arctic Fox Story
Arctic Fox may have been birthed from the pains of software development, but our vision is to enable a world where everyone can code. Like many people, we want to spend the precious time we have on Earth focused on transformative technologies.
It was not long ago that the average person could not read or write, only a small fraction of people could. Today though, reading and writing is an essential part of daily life. This change drastically shifted society, facilitated the transfer of knowledge, enabled individuals to gain knowledge in the areas pertaining to them, and was fundamental in the advancement of culture.
We believe that a similar shift will happen when everyone can code and interact with computers and machines in the languages those devices speak. Software will go from a monolithic endeavor to millions of disposable software scripts. People will be able to directly accelerate their work, not the tasks were arbitrarily selected by someone else. And surprisingly, people will focus on computers less and focus on people more.
Today, programmers can read and write code. In the future, we all will.
