That's super interesting! I liked:

"On a whim I ran coverage on codebase, and found that large parts of the code was 'untested'. But this was backwards, because I already knew that the tests were covering everything important. So lines with no test coverage could be removed!"

I also briefly knew the name of the judge who allegedly got in a drunken fight. But only briefly, because shame still works up here, so he then resigned and life moved on.

Per pub-regionofwaterloo.escribemeetings.com/filestream.a..., ... maybe? Kinda mealymouthed.

"Extending fare inspection to the bus network would [...] prepare for a future proof-of-payment model"

"Building a culture of proof-of-payment and rear-door boarding prepares [...] for [...] future phases"

My wife and I were once having ice cream on a patio in the US.

Some event happened that caused police to show up and demand ID from us. No one else was around, it was very weird.

We complied, because, y'know, immigrants.

They were surprised that we produced passports and visas, I think. Freedom!

In the arrest report at bsky.app/profile/prop..., the justification is "shooting Charlie Kirk in a circumstance that put many around him at grave risk of death" (page 3), which appears to map to 2(a)(iii) of the code you linked.

America's Gulag, maybe. His detention started 30-45 days before Trump was president.

I interpreted that as:

- a talent sourcer discovered her profile, encouraged her to apply
- she applied w/resume and cover letter
- with the additional information provided, recruiters determined it wouldn't be a fit and she didn't get past the resume screen

Bit shitty, but it happens.

"I'll be direct" is at the _bottom_ of _page 2_ of the email?

That's a no hire in its own right.

[...time passes...]

That's not a leaked screenshot!? _She_ shared that email with the world? Oh, no.
