A large person, in Canada. Father to two, smaller persons. Wife guy. Dual citizen, a modicum of discipline.

Proud liberal. Hobbesian. Unix apostate, Classic Mac OS revanchist, tilter at path-dependent windmills. Emacsist.
The thing is they really need the prompting. The skill is in understanding their context windows and what they imply; and in keeping the scope of the work tightly bounded by testable invariants. But the best general purpose tool right now is Claude Code with Sonnet 4.5.

Let them by hypocrites! Let them still be shitheels! Just do the thing!

And to be clear the movement itself is a good thing regardless of why. The why is fundamentally immaterial.

They are not my friends but they can tell which way the wind is blowing

It makes the chuds who get off on the fascism seem especially stupid

It’s kind of the best thing about it

GW believes subtext is for cowards (laudatory) (see Ferrus Manus)

Those physics PhD maniacs writing zero copy C++ code for algorithmic traders didn’t fall out of a coconut tree

At the very least, we need prison sentences for the big guys and lustration for everybody who collaborated.
