3) Any system proposed by people starting after you misunderstands the complexity of the domain and the constraints you were operating under These laws are fundamental laws of the startup universe. They are always and everywhere true.

Ah, yes, the Three Laws of Hypergrowth Startup Dynamics: 1) All systems that existed before you were unscaleable, unmaintainable nightmares 2) Any replacement system you proposed and worked hard on was extremely challenging, saved the business, and merits your promotion
Counterpoint: Java (Scala) microservices we’re an absolute nightmare for us at Twitter as we migrated off Ruby on Rails. Much of the complexity that Elon mentioned after he bought the company was from this architecture.

Yes, the boat hit the iceberg, but putting the children in lifeboats is the most destructive thing imaginable to their psyche. It's time for us to stop all this evacuation talk and just complete the voyage.

It's only tear gas if it comes from the Têar region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.
The US Park Police says its officers did *not* deploy tear gas at Lafayette Park, but acknowledges using "smoke canisters and pepper balls," that contain a chemical designed to irritate the eyes.

I truly, truly cannot believe the New York Times published a piece calling for military force to be used against civilians. NYT's Opinion section has lost its moral compass. I am horrified.

Black lives matter. Protests and riots work. If you’re not supporting what’s happening right now, don’t ever talk about “freedom” again.

they literally *gassed St. John's priests on church property* so Trump could pose with a Bible.
Replying to @jackmjenkins
ANOTHER harrowing account from ANOTHER priest working outside St. John’s who says they were run off by tear gas, etc before Trump’s photo op. Ends with a defiant decree: “I am now a force to be reckoned with.”
