After going through the article i was surprised i liked many of the bash behaviors that the author complained.

Kudos to Bloomberg for stepping up and hope other corps add to the effort for actual programming

This can be said for every democracy. Democracy is always chaotic in the short run and organized in the long run.

While authoritarianism is organized in the short run, but collapse in the long run as no one person lives forever.
