The Stack Overflow moderator strike has come to some agreements! https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/391847/moderation-strike-results-of-negotiations This seems like a good outcome, and it should help communication going forward. I can't think of any other cases where volunteers have successfully run strikes in tech before.

I find mypy very helpful for refactoring Python codebases. It sometimes finds bugs before I run my refactored code, but a large percentage of the time it's just helpfully pointing out where I have the wrong number of args. Pareto principle strikes again.

Playing with You Can't JS under pressure: http://t.co/PDnaksaAGE It's a *lot* easier with a JS interpreter open. REPL coding strikes again!
