A. A person who defines herself as such.
I find the Lincoln Project's continued failure to form a third party deeply disturbing. Their stated purpose is to bring down Trump, and a third party would go a long way towards neutralizing the threat he poses.
They have the reach, the strategists, the base to make this happen. They could run a Cheney/Sanford or Kinsinger ticket and offer rational conservatives who are uncomfortable with Biden an alternative to Trump.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* 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Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

It would just be great if you could (also?) Write things that I could read -- from beginning to end -- during my lunchbreaks.
I don't need all the nuance. My poor working class brain is unlikely to appreciate it, regardless.

@chancerydaily i say this as a plea, not a critique: APPLY BREVITY.
You have a fascinating beat, and I would love to follow these cases, but buddy, I don't have all day! 😠I might be able to carve out an hour a few times a week, but from what I have seen (skimmed) that will barely be enough to get through your newsletter.
And even that might be OK if your newsletter wasn't 75% inner monologue and digressions.
It is super frustrating.
