Well, that’s why I, a trans Democrat, am now running to kick Moulton out of Congress: bethfordemocracy.com
Which, bonus, will replace a mushy “New Democrat” centrist still looking to compromise with someone who understands the danger of fascism and the need for a diversity of tactics to fight it.

I was a bit worried as I have not done this in a long time. And I can help them :)

It was such a good week last week (except politics)...
At #oredev I did a talk with Jakob Wolman, and so many wanted to see our talk that they were standing and sitting on the floor.
People kept coming up to me or Jakob all exited about it :)
Amd it was so effortless doing it with Jakob.

A new talk, on the Extremity — and the Programmeriness — of Extreme Programming:
Premise: Everyone involved with software teams needs them to pay off.
Claim 1: Compared with other ways to try to ensure ROI, #XP is hardly extreme at all.
Claim 2: XP is therefore for everyone involved with software teams.
