I can't think of any other cases where volunteers have successfully run strikes in tech before.
Suppose I want to convert a string to uppercase in a language.
(1) Google it.
(2) Read the official docs or a Stack Overflow answer.
(3) Copy-paste the function/method name to my program.
This is an absurd number of keystrokes! Do any languages aim to minimise this?
It's interesting that Twitter sets limits on content size, but not distribution.
What if the number of retweets/comments on a tweet was rate limited, or had a cap for new users Would it promote slower or thoughtful conversation?
C.f. Stack Overflow limiting new user abilities.
