@philip_cardella We do regularly get to see fairly remarkable demonstrations of political naivety. Makes my old Facebook crowd of friends and family look sophisticated ...

@colo_lee I know we all have to experience the political world like it or not.

But we all also use computers in order to have this conversation.

I have a Master's Degree in History with a heavy focus on transnational political history and illiberalism.

Dude with "software developer" in his bio thinks he knows more about history and politics AND software development than I do.

I think I'm NOT yet an expert on political history and really unqualified to offer software development opinions.

@philip_cardella Side note: hope things work out as well as possible with your dad.

@TonyStark thanks. It's really stressful and my mom is having a very hard time. I mean, my dad has been in this ICU two or three other times (we've started losing count!), she's a nurse, but I've never seen her like this.

It's a lot.

Thanks for the well wishes.

@philip_cardella Very sorry to hear it.

@colo_lee I'm just saying it's really interesting how many people think they're good at something over here, which means they're good at everything, even things way over there.

I'm not talking about anybody in particular right now. Just the annoying vibe.
