I'm not a single-interest user so I don't want a single-interest instance, but some of my multiple interests include #ruby, #softwareEngineering in general, #athletics (in the European sense) and #running, #localGovernment and #transit, #greaterBoston, and parenting #neurodiverse children (which is a fraught subject, I know, so to be clear my aspirations there are #radicalAcceptance ).

* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
@Matthewcford the Rails app now has a Rake task to do this 😁
On the one hand, I’m concerned about the privacy implications of pervasive surveillance cameras and facial recognition technology. On the other hand, I got a new pair of glasses and now I always have to use the passcode to unlock my iPhone.
