Every "debate" about climate change seems to bring out the people who seriously believe that all consumers are rational & well educated actors participating in a totally laissez-faire capitalistic economy where someone can just walk across the street for the future they want.

Been using trpc.io at work and it's a joy to use in our monorepo. All the benefits of having type safety between front-end and back-end without any real hassle. I'd suggest trying it out!

What do you want to bet that “buck a ride” is immediately used to justify further privatizing transit in the GTA?

Love how all the gambling ads in the UK during footy matches are exactly the same as the Crypto ads in the USA during football matches.
