While Enterprise is always the go to for things like this, I think any time non technical people get involved in technical decisions the fun time begins. Just today I was told that I wasn't allowed to implement something in python just

When did HN get so political? In the last couple of months I've noticed an increasing amount of argumentative political discussion. Both sides seem so convinced of their moral superiority, it was somewhat amusing at first but now I&#x2
