Today is a dark day for LGBTQ+ people. Ron DeSantis just BANNED:

-Gender-affirming healthcare for minors.

-Trans people from using the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.

-Students and staff from using their preferred pronouns in a public school.

No words.

I've had this rant about other languages too. One Big Tech employer required every Java method parameter or local variable be declared `final`. So much ceremony, tedium, and diff churn for no gain.

I like types. I like immutable types. I do not like cargo cult software eng.

[Cody C. #BLM @NfNitLoop]

I was just complaining elsewhere about linters overzealously recommending `const` for local variables in #JavaScript/#TypeScript and came across @buildsghost's excellent rant:

5/6/1933, exactly 90 years ago today the Nazis sacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology, destroying countless scientific research into queer Healthcare including transition procedures for trans people. The most famous pictures of a Nazi book-burning are from this event.

He does this shit because dumb people think it means he’s working hard.

He spends literally all day tweeting. He sleeps at the office because he’s an absent father who needs to be surrounded by sycophants at all times to feel okay.

More seriously -- I don't know if you can avoid it long-term. But avoiding feature creep, or saying "that's a different problem/project" can help, maybe?

OTOH maybe death is just a natural part of the software lifecycle. Makes room for new growth.

Republicans knowingly supported one of the most noxious, amoral people to the top office of the land. A man laden with a documented history of criminality and outright fraud. The “unprecedented” stuff started in 2016, not 2023. #GOP

[Greg Palast @Greg_Palast]

In the war on voting, we just lost another battle: Idaho will now ban student ID for voting to “prevent vote fraud.” No evidence was given that Idaho’s youth are more criminally minded than the Idaho gun owners, who can still use their ammo ID to vote. I witnessed the same attack on student voters in Wisconsin. So, I’m giving up cheese and potatoes!

A lawyer on TikTok is performing a weekly list of recently arrested pedophiles in America simply to point out that it’s all youth pastors and politicians, not drag queens

When someone takes a person and keeps them confined against their will: kidnapping and false imprisonment.

When corrupt agents of the state do it: "oopsie".

weird how it’s ok to bail some people out but not others

[Cody C. #BLM @NfNitLoop]

That burning sensation when you breathe in the air or drink the water? Freedom!

Freedom for wealthy corporations to pollute without restraint or consequence. There is no nobler American goal. … our children and our grandchildren will know it as well. Freedom!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Biden: There's no sweeter word than freedom. There's no nobler goal than freedom. There's no more higher aspiration than freedom. Americans know that, and you know it. And all that we do now must be done so our children and our grandchildren will know it as well. Freedom.

Periodic reminder: Refactoring isn't something that we do when we're not writing new code. It's what we do to prepare our codebase to accept the new code we're writing.

If your "refactoring" requires a project plan, that's a rewrite, not a refactoring.
