People have lost their homes and everything they own to a natural disaster that was not under their control. I don't care where you live in the world, this could happen to you. The lack of empathy and victim blaming in…
That is a red herring. The frequency and intensity of the wildfires has increased. Stop repeating fossil fuel talking points meant to distract from climate change.
The frequency and intensity of droughts in the area has increased due to climate change. The increased winds is due to climate change. It is obvious. It is not explained by "radical population increase". Stop trying to…
Stop trying to muddy the waters, we already agree that wildfires do happen. Nobody disputes that. The frequency and intensity of what we are seeing in recent years is what is not normal. That is due to climate change…
Yes I remember as a kid in the 80s when wildfires woukd devastate LA every year. Oh wait no it did not happen until recently. Yes wildfires do happen in nature. No this is not normal for this area. Yes it is about…
The losses were already socialized without the controls. Look at how the insurance companies always behave in these situations. They always find a way to stick the public with the bill. Don't listen to the corporate…
Did you miss the part where I said the public has been lied to for the past 50 years? I didn't say we shut off all the gas pumps tomorrow. It will obviously take time to transition off. I said we seize their assets and…
An hour in and nobody in these comments is addressing climate change? The risks of drought and the resulting fire or hurricanes and floods is much higher than it has been in recorded history in these areas because of…
Anyone who thinks non-engineers can build quality products with just AI doesn't know anything about being an engineer.
As I explained in my initial comment, the problem is average parents are not equipped to be good teachers and homeschooled kids are being denied the variety of experiences that kids going to an actual school are…
I'm glad that you have a way to help your daughter. But there are many kids with similar issues and homeschooling can't be our solution for all of them. Instead we need to figure out how to accomodate them at schools.
Lots of kids home lives are worse than your school life. But that's not the point I was making. You are letting your personal horrible experience define the whole discussion for you. But that is completely beside the…
Yes some kids face abusive situations in public schools. But all kids are by definition facing abuse when home schooled imho.
I grew up in the US and I hated every single day of school. I don't have a favorite teacher I remember fondly, I don't have friends from school, etc. I absolutely hated it. But I still am against home schooling. I still…

I think you misinterpreted him funding development. Read the linked article. Should clear you up. He was funding (via Automattic) an estimated 4k+ hours of work per week and is cutting that back to 45. Not himself…
Are you under the impression he himself has been a meaningful contributor in the last decade?
You're lumping big changes with small changes. If you really won't go back and change one function or one class because someone shared a better idea at the PR stage that's unhealthy and you will improve by letting go of…
I don't disagree some people have bad, overly nitpicky PR habits and they should be trained out of that. That said, sitting down before hand and planning is useful for the big picture but one of the big benefits of PRs,…
I addressed that in the comment you are responding to...
I'm not advocating for constant nitpicking or demanding perfection. But somewhere between that and "PRs are too late for changes" is where most good teams operate.
What? This is absolutely incorrect. There's be no point in PRs if it's too late to change anything. Part of the point is to reduce the number of synchronous discussions your team has to have about code before writing…
You're missing a third category which is "here's another way you could do this..." which isn't just about legibility but more tangible tradeoffs. Certainly I agree architectural decisions shouldn't be made in every PR…
If you are never getting good suggestions on your PRs that's a bad sign. Any team of more than 2 people should have some ideas sometimes for each other. Either this means everybody's too checked out to put in effort on…
