The CMOH implying this baby only dies of measles bc they were premature and had other health conditions is unabashed ableism
Justifying the death of a disabled child is as low as it gets

Someone coding fast doesn’t make me trust them with my personal banking details, but even if limited to coding, if you have “many stories” of some guy rewriting deleted codebase very fast, and no stories of him whipping out a backup, I don’t want him making unilateral changes to Treasury code.
Their response to "he's violating the Constitution" is really "but bro is so sick at coding."
US rule of law in shambles. Tech ideology is really that kind of caricature of itself.
