The lesson needs to be pointed at concentrations of power that aren’t middle-eastern as well.

Now that we see debt is really just the ability of wealthy people to never pay back or get taxed, it is a much more apt analogy. Tech debt is code that is fine forever and one day dies.03 Jul 2026 20:29 +0000at://did:plc:v5eow4qf5haahom5jrbawqo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mprf6c6gvk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/miketerhar.com/post/3mpix237o7227@emollick.bsky.social I guess I need to read your book30 Jun 2026 11:55 +0000at://did:plc:v5eow4qf5haahom5jrbawqo7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpix237o7227https://bsky.app/profile/miketerhar.com/post/3moqzt6ica22uA Simon says professional.

Conservatives put a bunch of nazis on their ballots. Liberals called them nazis. They got elected because the electorate likes nazi policies.
