We’re two years out from the API apocalypse. I think. That’s how I got here.

I think time wasn’t super kind to it. And I don’t remember how clear it was in the movie that Scott’s just not a good dude. My memory of the story is that the core is: Scott is bad. Scott accepts that. Scott starts doing better. But maybe that’s just my headcannon.
It’s a good lesson though! Just because you were bad doesn’t mean you are bad. You can change. Life isn’t a simplistic video game. It’s a lesson I’ve needed from time to time.

Brandt said he enjoyed being a meme, and he did frequently use the catchphrase, although he did say that his high school English teacher would not have approved of his usage of “ain’t”.[6][20]

A government stipend to make public art or open source software or literature or whatever sounds pretty great. It’s hard to see how we get there from here. But it’d be great.
France has something like it for artists I think.

I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn’t seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.
I’m not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.
