With increasing regularity, I'm reminded of what a cesspool of reactionary self-righteousness social media can be, how ill-considered people's opinions are, how bereft of historical context and impoverished of nuance. We can do better.
For my tax preparer friends, what tax preparation software do you utilize? Do not recommend @TaxACTSupport because their customer service is awful. #taxprep
@TaxACTSupport The W2 keeps dividing my income by 1000. Is this a known bug? Pretty disappointed that the support email said I had to pay $150 for an expert to help me.

“But hourly billing encourages developers to take as long as possible”.
Hogwash.
Hourly workers are incentivized to complete work quickly and at a high level of quality to justify their hourly rate. If they don’t, the customer will hire someone else.
