Is there a better commercial for Rank Choice Voting than what is going on with the Speaker's vote in the House ? The current system, from primary to generals to speaker voting, empowers the extremes to the expense of constituants. Time to change

@jennapederson I used to love my mechanical keyboards from the eras of the dinosaurs. I remember once having to work on a computer (an AT if that means anything), and the keyboard was both magnificent to type on, but could also be used to clobber any home invaders into submission.

@theburningmonk Most of it was written without direct integrations. I don’t have an example but for those I’d switch to an input based system. Keep the work in one step and then pass simple input to the integration for easier testing.

@theburningmonk Given how I followed the state pattern I *was* able to do more e2e testing by setting up my transactional data in tables so I could fake things out that way, but there were still 3rd party pieces that needed more work to make fail in near production environments. 5/?

@RealSpikeCohen @elonmusk Now in fairness, this should probably have context that this program existed before he took over.

@naval Depends on the price point. Charge too much and it remains a status symbol.

@BrianDeRemer That and the guy that just bought it for $45B.

@projectileboy @adidas It was a loud enough statement that I wouldn't let my daughter buy any when we went shoe shopping last night.

@growthesunshine @sentantiq I definitely read it. I somehow feel like it was in 7th grade the first time, but it might have been as early as 6th
