Man, ExtJS was my jam back…almost a decade ago I really did have fun with it but more in a “how do I make it do what I want” problem solving way. At one point we had a PHP backend that would generate the Ext controls just how we wanted the

I don’t really hold out hope for Musk, personally. I’d like to, as much as I’d like to hope that anyone can change. All of his actions point to someone who is very sad and doesn’t apply the tools he has to actually tackle it, instead he use

Never attribute to irony what can be attributed to fuckery. I don’t know Bezos or Amazon’s stance on cops but I do know that corporations loooooove police - it’s where cops came from. I wouldn’t be surprised if this infusion is specifically

Therapists and psychologists are two incredibly impactful resources when it comes to mental health. No one said it wasn’t covered at all, just that the coverage is missing the most impactful services.
