Very, very light spoilers: I can’t stand to give up classical radio

For a few years I’ve settled into agnosticism on the question of “who should own the means of production”. Too confusing

I’m thinking of that one song by YG feat. Nipsey Hussle. Then Outstanding by the Gap Band. Then Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads. Then despacito

What book is this?

I understand what you’re saying but I’m not sure there’s anything to learn; Gluesenkamp Perez is likely the only D who can win in that district, much like Joe Manchin was the only D who could win WV. Compare to Paula Swearengin who ran as a progressive D in WV in ‘20 and lost by 40 points

Kind of connected: my mother is a programmer by trade/training, but got out of the game in the 90s. She was telling me about how she and her coworkers had (e.g.) all the sorting algos memorized bc they were doing so much more from scratch every time. Very quaint compared to ‘import numpy as np’

I think it was Bucklew who (some time ago) was talking about how the advent of the package manager didn’t destroy the profession, bc there’s always an interface to program, and glue to create. Anyways the real job is to implement business logic

Lately I’ve been doing spec-driven development and it’s pretty fun. I think that the quality of my code is better off for it, but I sometimes feel dissociated from the actual work
