“👋🏻Hi Twitter. If you or someone you know is looking to hire a seasoned and fairly humble senior Ruby developer, please let me know. I was very unexpectedly laid off as part of a mass-downsizing today. I have 15 years of development experience, 5 in particular with Ruby on Rails.”

Yeah, I’m OK with this too.

One thing that seems to be getting glossed over in the linked thread – it’s only mandatory to include the option, if the app offers other third-party logins. If you have your own login system then you do not have to add anything. That… seems reasonable?

In terms of the actual ideology itself, I do think there’s something about the nature of conservatism that makes it easier to promote online. Conservatives tend to focus on simple, clear messages around freedom in particular. The left tends to focus on this general idea of fairness.

Conservatives are generally monolithic in their attacks on, say, Obamacare. The left wants a diverse array of voices. The left tends to want to include a lot of different people and a lot of different issues, and the result is a more muddled message that is just harder to communicate.

“…then maybe they deserve this drivel, says a Macedonian copy-paste/turn-it-into-clickbait-bile writer who says it’s all about the money.”

Naked Security

… it’s all about the clicks. It’s all about the ad revenue. It doesn’t matter how preposterous the content is: what matters is that somebody – or many somebodies – open the articles and generate ad impressions.
