I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

Very glad to see this paragraph, which IMO should be in every autism piece. Good work all around.

That’s a ton of chatter. 1 chatterton if you will.

Way back in like 2008 I was That Guy that cornered Guido at a PyCon to extol the virtues of greenlets and stackless over the coroutine and generator based concurrency models that were popular at the time…
…and while I cringe thinking back on my behavior, I stand by my assessment. 😅 (Guido was kind!)

I’m not too familiar with MCP but it seems just stateful enough to warrant a long lived service instead of a one-shot process per request.

Really easy to containerize each request too. Love this model.

I really like CGI style for plugins too: parameters in env vars, stream the body on stdin, read stdout for results. CNI uses this to great success so we copied the style for 2 other plugin systems in Nomad.
