The infrastructure we need to build and scale ledgers doesn't exist. With Twisp, developers can declare ledgers, reconciliation primitives, and financial calculation pipelines all via infrastructure-as-code, just like you would any other first class cloud resource.

parsnips | 4 years ago | on: I was let go for refusing to deploy a dark pattern
The tech team at the time was entirely located in Utah at the time, and all of us were repulsed at the idea. We countered with suggestions for improvement and made it clear the project would not be worked on:
- You can make a "promoted" restaurant section above the fold - The UX concerns since users expect some reasonable ordering. Like distance from location or alphabetical.
We didn't get fired, and it was really scary. I appreciate standing up for ethics and principles. bravo.

Also anecdotally, bazel and golang work really well together IME. The community seems pretty active, and the upsides of using gazelle/bazel with golang seem to outweigh any downsides (though I'd be hard pressed to name a downside, that isn't inherit to golang itself).

>Upgrading all existing buildings and building new ones so that they achieve maximum energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability.
How is a directive to upgrade all existing buildings, anything but central planning of an entire industry?

Asked support, got 2 weeks of "we're working on it"'... And finally a "You're using Opal, you can't enable issuing".
They're losing thread fast.
