@rbates @lazaronixon I've used this pattern for years. Simple modules in an "operations" folder. Give them descriptive names with a common `call` entry point. Keep them stateless. Any objects should have a minimal surface area without almost no methods.

Alexei Navalny dead exactly a month before Russia's presidential election is, even for Vladimir Putin, a cynically transparent manoeuvre to silence his most vociferous critic. That it transpires while Tucker Carlson plays useful idiot in a propaganda coup is somehow worse.

I always get tripped up on title capitalization rules when building user interfaces, e.g., "Go To Maps" vs "Go to the Map" are both correct but you can end up second guessing. Didn't realize how much I needed this tool: https://t.co/ETvaM637Lu

Fred Brooks was the author of "The Mythical Man Month" a book that was hugely influential on so many of us. Also his paper "No Silver Bullet" would be on most people's shortlist of most influential papers.

Proportional Representation makes a lot more sense than a system where the winning party can go down in popular vote but still increase their overall seat count.

On a whim saw an amazing show by @Koyczan at the Art Deco @HollywoodYVR theatre. If you want to get rocked by words go see him live if you get a chance. Wasn't sure what to expect at a poetry reading but it wasn't that.🥇
