Just last year, Congress snapped to attention and wrote and quickly passed a bill to ban the eminent national security threat of a video-sharing app. That bill doesn't do anything else. Just a reminder that Congress, even now, can rapi

First, I am glad you are here. Since you mention that you are an immigrant, it's worth noting that the ascendant anti-immigrant fervor is a direct expression of pessimism about our future. It's a statement that there's not en

As far as I know, they are sharing a single work tree. So I suppose that could get messy by default. That said, it might be possible to tell each agent to create a branch and do work there? I haven't tried that. I haven't seen any
