If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

Another ridiculous poll. What actually slows releases? 1) Building things nobody wants. 2) Unnecessary complexity. 3) Lack of effective communication. 4) A culture of centralized control. 5) Bad process. 6) Dependencies. 7) Not trusting the people who do the work. 8) Large batches. 1/2

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

A thought experiment: You've got poorly documented spaghetti code with years of legacy logic. You've got tight deadlines and at least a year before you can do a major refactor. How do you make the code less confusing for the next year? Documentation? In-code comments? Testing?

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Engineers being expected to do on-call shifts for no additional compensation is one of the clearest arguments for “just because you’re highly-paid doesn’t mean you don’t need a union”

Questions I get the most about our homestead or hobby farm: 1) does it make money? 2) are you trying to go off grid? The answer to both of those is no. Or sort of? But I hate how they flatten our choices.

When we moved to the Catskills, "your biggest crop will be rocks" seemed like a cute "welcome to the area" joke. After two hours digging fist-sized gravel for a post hole, I now realize it's more of a "laugh so we don't cry" situation. I also see why my ancestors made peace with Wisconsin winters.
