Agree with all points made. Especially with the first point (engineer hiring tends to be one dimensional) as well as the “your company is who you hire” point - and even the google example given for that point. Google is great at software. N

I think you’re being downvoted because of that very first sentence (no matter how much I hate the guy, laying the blame 100% on his frail shoulders seems a bit hyperbolic). But I don’t see what’s downvotable (if not agreeable) about the res

As a huge basketball fan I think this is great. As a US citizen roughly familiar with the NBA and how they come after platforms that use their content in ways that they don’t condone (e.g., /r/nbastreams, RIP), I don’t see this la

Finally a client that mixes async support and a “requests-compatible” API (for those times you don’t want to go as low as say an aiohttp or the like). Looking forward to trying it out Edit: maybe the homepage can include a very simple async
