  • Yes you can be a good president without being a good person. I wouldn’t call Clinton a good person, but he was a good president. LBJ would also be a good candidate for bad person l, but good president.

    This one really depends on what you did and why. FDR generally gets a pass on Japanese concentration camps, Lincoln also subverted the constitution in some ways. Eisenhower using nationalized troops to integrate southern schools was an abuse of power, but the result was deemed worth it.

    There were a small handful of good Nazis, but that’s not really the issue at hand. Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.




  • This is why I’m not a fan of REST, the whole as possible part is meaningless. It could be an api that’s 99% REST with a few well thought out methods for common actions that aren’t quite REST, or it could be a mess of an api that uses PUT occasionally.

    Self documenting at an application api level is not really possible. What I’d rather have is consistency and predictability, which is impossible in a REST as possible system.



  • Yes most things are crud if you zoom out enough that doesn’t mean REST is just fine. The scope is larger now, the states are more complex and interrelated, relationships are more complex, data privacy laws can affect the physical implementation. REST also has a lot of baggage that leads to excessive bike shedding, or refusal to allow useful endpoints that aren’t sufficiently restful. Proponents also tend to be more concerned with the purity of the api than the usability and effectiveness of it

    Biden gets a lot of credit for Covid, but he did very little on that front. The vaccines were something Trump actually did well in getting them developed ASAP. He did sign some additional spending related to Covid. Inflation wasn’t 100% his fault, but he did sign a lot of spending that probably shouldn’t have happened, the interest rate staying low under Trump was also a big contributor.
