Wow. That was really fucking stupid. Did they rope their maid in to appearing in the video?
Also:
God damn. She's completely unabashed by the fact that she DIDN'T collect the vast majority of these signatures, just paid a company to do it. In fact almost nobody who signed is going to remember Wu's name come election time, they just signed because a pitiful temp shoved 3 or 4 petitions under their nose and it was easier to sign them than to tell the guy to piss off.
If there's one thing about Wu that pisses me off the most, it's the grandiosity.

Yech. Wu's insufferably in "look at me, I'm a software engineer" mode today.
I'm sure she's put this stupid idea forward before, but in case I've never said it -- that's a really fucking stupid idea. There's already perfectly good websites on which you can read the full text of every bill, every action that's been taken about it and its full history. Trying to shoehorn that in to Git would actually be vastly less convenient and would almost certainly involve the loss of important data. This is the sort of thing you'd only ever say if you were a some sort of wannabe trying desperately to pretend you're something you aren't.

In the meantime, we would love to see Brianna's github, I'm sure it's full of brilliant code, that can be produced only by a mature expert in the field...

Brianna doesn't seem to understand that the federal government is designed to be slow. It is built to encourage compromise and slow change. It is literally not agile by design. Separation of powers combined with the hurdles legislation has to jump through to get passes followed by judicial review means that it is a deliberate process. Speeding it up only encourages the tyranny of the majority, which was something the Founders were trying to avoid.
Wu hates everything that the current Congress and administration does, but would hate it much worse if Government were actually agile.

The Agile/Scrum thing rarely even works well in software development for most organizations unless everyone is fully invested in it. It's often just used as a way to do even less planning and specification, and throw all the complexity over the wall to the people implementing. For it to work, you still need people who are willing to contribute and consistent accountability which is possible, but quite rare in enterprises and I would imagine non-existent in congress. I've seen many orgs try to apply it, but fail because of these reasons. They of course still claim to be "agile" shops. Most "software engineers" who have any actual professional experience probably understand this.
That Microsoft conference John is going to is a pretty serious conference which is focused on professional developers who are working in the Microsoft ecosystem. It's not a hipster convention like PAX with a bunch of underachieving video game nerds, or a see and be seen media affair like Apple WWDC. Most of the people there make really good money doing fairly unglamorous technical work. There is a "Women in Tech" contingent, which has a separate lounge area and maybe does a couple of talks but this conference is mostly a bunch of dudes like Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley -- it's to the point that you have to plan some of your activities around the long lines for the men's room.
The women who run and go to the women in tech thing are not your typical blue hair, nose ring people. There is a little of that, but it's mostly people with actual jobs. I think a lot of them take the "women in tech" thing seriously from a professional perspective I don't imagine they are going to be super stoked about a "women's dinner" with a 7' tall dude. Representing it as that is such a pot-shot at the credibility of the organization. A lot of the "women in tech" it turns out are actually Indian women, originally from India, who I imagine will react to John with polite, but fairly ambivalent bemusement.

Old cis-het white male billionaires are slow and resistant to change. Women and PoC’s are agile.

I'm still kind of surprised that actual programmers donate to her campaign. They have to know she's a complete fraud in that field, right?
I understand some rich bleeding hearts who don't know better but if these other people can't spot a fraud, that's pretty sad.

All that really needs to be said at any time regarding the resident ghoul.
The reality is that Flu simply wants two things: to be right all the time, and to be the center of positive attention. To achieve this, their entire life has more or less been dedicated to being a completely horrible human being foisting opinions they fully believe to be right (until they change their minds and potentially denounce what they swore was the truth five minutes prior) in the same vein as what would become known as the SJW collective. Flu of course is obsessed with new technology and so tried to mount that as a platform to serve as a soapbox from which to spew feminist bullshit and hypocrisy, but because they're such a vile person (and got used by the anti-GG side because nobody was paying fucking attention to Flu before that), they adopted the harassment angle. Except being well-known wasn't the same as being successful as Flu seemed convinced was the case, since GG pretty much ended with the antis themselves wanting nothing to do with Flu, R60 turned into a nightmare all over again when people had to demand the Special Edition finally get released (and anybody with a shred of respectability would have put out R60 SE as a mere content upgrade patch FOR FREE because it was nothing more than a port to PC with shitty keyboard adaption and negligible visual upgrades), and Flu subsequently lost interest in video game development because with R60 produced, they were now 'officially' an accomplished game dev despite everybody mocking the ever loving fuck out of it.
This whole scampaign shitshow is Flu essentially seeing Hillary run for president and then getting defeated by Trump, so everybody is paying attention to Trump. Flu wants that attention, so they try to get into office any way they can - even if it's against a veteran incumbent like Lynch.

Since when 4chan and GamerGate is about murdering people? Oh, almost forgot to reset the Wu Said GamerGate days again.

I love how cows who have never had to work are so disconnected from the general public. The minute they have to lift a finger they think it's something no one else does and brag about it. Like she's the first person who's had to fill out some paperwork. Fuck, she was complaining about having to comb her hair and wear a clean outfit like that's not just routine for every person who leaves the house.
She's also one of the first candidates I've seen brag about getting some signatures. There's a literal 70-year old Nazi in Illinois who went door to door and did it.

I think in John's fantasy you could drill down line-by-line into the commit history and find out which specific parts of a bill were added by mustache-twirling Gamergate lobbyists. Which is, you know, dumb.
Side Rant: I'm also tired of people proposing Git as a panacea for collaboration. The further you get from its original use case (massively distributed open-source development based on forking/merging) the more you end up dealing with Git's disadvantages without reaping any of the advantages.
Also, good Lord, that "cookies" ad. Is John the first politician to literally use "Everyone gets a cookie" as a campaign slogan?

Between him and Nasim Aghdamn it's a great time if you love lolcow mass murderers/attempted mass murderers (if it's real, though I feel like it isn't and the media is being fucked with again)
Also, the dude was Canadian, what does this have to do with the American Justice Department?
