According to Jesse Singal during the latest “primo” episode of Blocked & Reported<\/a>.<\/em> Given my traffic stats, this is absolutely not an issue for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started writing this Friday or Saturday, and came away kind of exhausted by the episode. Lots of focus on Jack Posobiec, and back to the PizzaGate controversy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I chose the title because this won’t be a problem I’m having; nobody is reading, and everything gets deleted. Or at least hidden from public view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week has been a marked exercise in me showing exactly why I so often find myself alone on almost every issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m consuming a lot of information that I’d formerly cast aside with a “this is bullshit” dismissal. Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do consider everything, and you have to call out when people are just absolutely wrong. About nearly everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professionally, that’s tough. This unwise thing was done, and I just have to work within the frameworks that exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does kind of fit with DOGE\/USDS\/18F. What the hell are you trying to do? Can it be done better? Go figure out how to do it, and to hell with the legacy cruft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll make mistakes. I readily admit that. I want you to explain why I’ve made a mistake beyond adherence to some rule from 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No, you can’t do that.” might as well be restated as, “I’m reporting you to the cops.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental engineering has been stripped out in the name of “being agile,” but the sledgehammer that is the regulatory sledgehammer remains, as an unspoken threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, then. Do whatever you will, but do it publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, do it on Signal so everybody knows!!1!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
