@EF @LaChasseuse I think what makes the Greens different is precisely because they are not (yet) funded primarily by the very rich.

They will come under pressure to accept that money. It's much less work to fund raise a million pounds from just one ultra-rich #kleptocrat than from one hundred thousand ordinary people.

We'll see if they can continue to resist; #Labour have signally failed.

@rival_elf Oh good. My dad was born Canadian, and he remained Canadian until the French objected that he couldn't be part of the team negotiating the UK's entry into the EU because he wasn't a UK citizen.

@Colgrace Welcome aboard, Colleen!

@aredridel I have been frustrated all my working life by otherwise good programmers who will not document. I've only ever worked with one programmer who in my opinion documented enough (and I've ever since striven to emulate him). But in general I've seen no evidence that the majority of software people 'want to do documentation well'.

On the contrary, a majority see it as menial labour and a waste of their time.

@futurebird @david_chisnall When I was at school, back in the 1960s, the careers advisors told us "don't learn programming, within four years computers will be intelligent enough to program themselves."

I suspect school careers advisors will still be saying the same thing in the 2060s.
