So I get how this could sound compelling with that framing, but note that:

• This was part of a hack project by 4 students in 2020
• The tool they built in the hack was an ML computer vision system to validate ballots, in an effort to reduce mail-in ballot rejection rates
• As a part of testing this project, they needed a way to generate a large amount of ballots which the system could then validate
• Five years later, one of the authors of this hack works for DOGE

Like, take a look at the code - it’s trivial, in large part because it was made by college students in their early academic career. Creating something of similar caliber would be extremely trivial.

That this student hack project would have been used as a part of a greater scheme of election fraud seems highly unlikely.

With a pannier rack and baskets to hang on the rack, I can carry all the groceries we need for 1-2 weeks if I so wish on my bike, no problems whatsoever.

Vivid/Done with this is the logo for the excellent podcast Well There’s Your Problem.

If you’re just rubber-stamping in code reviews, why even have them in the first place in that case? They aren’t exactly providing you with any mileage at that point.

Elon starting to comment on technical matters was the moment I learned he was actually completely beyond incompetent, since I have some actual expertise on the subject. Right around the time he bought Twitter and commented publicly on its architecture.

This is further evidence to that point

The correct response to any PR that is too large to digest is to reject it and ask the author to split it up.

Voice message transcription could probably be a pretty good accessibility-feature for chat apps, I think.

Android Studio or VSCode usually.

But really, there’s no single best option here - use whatever works the best with you and the tech you’re targeting. The same advice applies for programming languages, libraries and just about everything in tech
