I've joined @AnthropicAI!

I'll be working on Claude Code and making it better for developers who use it. Here's a little Fable & Three.js

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Running out of arguments so just going personal I see

The smart way is back-end verification: letting state DBs cross-check DMV & SS records behind the scenes. Secure the vote by making agencies talk to each other & enforce laws, not by blocking legal citizens in physical papers

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Read the text of Sec 2 of SAVE Act. A REAL ID is rejected unless it lists citizenship (which 45 states don't do). It treats regular Real IDs as insufficient

Your software factory needs high quality video recording. 𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝-𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚠𝚜𝚎𝚛 delivers.

We’re shipping more functionality derived from the lessons of automating the new bottleneck in software engineering: review, testing and QA.

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Back to your original “silly” statement that we think ‘fraud is good’.

People are simplypointing out that while fraud is bad, overly-restrictive laws does more harm than good

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Under proposed “fixes” a standard valid ID, REAL ID, or military ID alone fails the requirements. It’s a passport or a physical birth certificate and name matching for married women. For guns: it’s only a standard photo ID. They are treating voting rights harsher than gun rights

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer I already said fraud is bad. You’re inventing a fake argument.

laws that lock out US citizens isn't security. Instead update DMV DBs, strictly enforce laws we already have against noncitizens and harvesting. Don't do it by punishing real citizens who don't have a passport handy

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer You’re not based in reality. You claim a silly lie that we think 'fraud is good'-when called out, you claim issues like disenfranchisement don't exist. When shown data, you pivot to calling millions of legal, workingclass Americans 'lazy' for not paying hidden fees for 'free' IDs

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Fraud is bad and should be punished. But if you claim there is 'no disenfranchisement' when data shows ~12% of US citizens lack the exact ID documents on hand, you’re choosing to ignore them. Why is blocking millions of legal American voters an acceptable tradeoff for you?

I've been working on this app to keep myself organized, but WebMCP makes it pretty killer.

🔥 See how I can seamlessly create a workback gantt chart just from some board items?

Tactical programming is dead

Strategic programming has never been more vital

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Let’s do a numbers game. First up, we all want zero fraud-I see that’s a tough one for you. Now take the amount of fraud we currently have vs the disenfranchised voters fro so called fixes. Saying it’s not worth losing their ability to vote is not the same as endorsing fraud

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer You may want to look up strawman and then read your examples. Saying that folks who want to empower voters believe that it is a good thing when people do something illegal is exactly that. We all want secure elections, just doesn’t make sense to shut more good peopke than bad

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Again, back to strawman arguments. Claiming people are FOR illegal voting is not correct.

We all agree illegal voting is bad. It’s heavily prosecuted and exceedingly rare. Those examples are illegal - but restricting access only hurts legal voters (which is worse in a democracy)

This is the best 2 hours on graph engineering ever recorded, Andrew Ng breaking down how to build agentic knowledge graphs from scratch:

9:14 - your first working agent
33:11 - how loops actually work
1:02:46 - turning loops into working graphs
1:30:15 - agents that improve their own code
1:49:05 - a system that runs the whole thing for you

I've seen $500 courses that teach less than this video alone.

Watch it, then take it further with my step-by-step guide on graph engineering below.

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Equating voter access with being pro-fraud is a bad-faith strawman. Everyone wants zero fraud

You are intentionally misrepresenting a concern over voter barriers as an endorsement of fraud

Caring about ballot access and democracy for legal voters doesn't mean you want cheating

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Or that the fixes ALSO make voting more difficult. Maybe let’s come up with better fixes. Also I still haven’t seen anyone saying that voting fraud is “a good thing”. Maybe you should try baking that up since you led with it?

[Brian Schwartz @brschwar]

@rustbeltmaga @Angry_Staffer Who is actually saying that it’s a good thing? I have never heard that said ever. Everyone (right and left) says it’s a bad thing. We all want 0.

The point is that one side is saying it’s “massive”. Can you share how that tiny number of POTENTIAL cases could be consequential?
