I would be quite happy if Signal would rebrand itself to be "a messenger that doesn't share your data", instead of a "secure messenger".
It would serve at least two useful purposes:
1) it's a more clear message, and thus easier for non-technical folk to get without need for further explanation
2.) it would stop all of the concern about Signal prioritizing new features instead of focusing on "security"

according to hacker news, the ideal programmer can keep the entirety of a massive complex system in their head all at once and instantly analyze all possible data flow paths, but is a total fucking idiot when it comes to basic local tasks like adding numbers together

Every time the US has a change of administration, EFF staffers - lawyers, policy analysts, activists - create a "transition memo": a series of one-page briefings on the tech policy issues the new admin should take up. The Biden memo is *great*.

It opens with a section on surveillance, with three subsections:
I. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
II. Facial Recognition Technology
III. Border Search and Immigration Surveillance

A recruiter email seriously pitches "founders are serial entrepreneurs" as a point of pride… Do they want me to have the same attitude towards code? Just throw something together and then move on to the next job right before the system collapses?
Oh wait… It actually explains a lot about modern software!
