I'm NOT surprised. As a programmer I really miss having the antonyms that Ruby gives you in other languages

Having to parse what '!includes' means is harder than just 'excludes' and, while that cognitive load is small, it builds up!

I originally thought the wheels had oxygen in them somehow but they're just benzene rings

This version is less confusing some still maintaining the bicycle shape

Article says we likely caught them early and they're hopeful for eradication

I hope they're right!

I'm sure everyone choosing to do this has their personal reasons. Personally it reminds me of why certain people go vegetarian/vegan: they think this kind of consumption is bad and they're trying to resolve cognitive dissonance. It's a way of creating new habits that more closely align with their values.

Another way it has vegan/vegetarian parallels is the social effects. Tips and tricks you find of social media can make it easier to do. If you've been thinking about taking the pledge then seeing it on social media can act as a reminder. Lastly, if enough people do it then it gets easier. But nothing groups, clothing swaps, etc. makes it easier for other people to participate in a virtuous cycle.

I doubt this will move the bottom line, but I do think it's a good thing and it doesn't need to be wide spread to bring value to people participating

Is this a thing?

From the article it sounds like a lot of the complaints are any delivery gig workers, not pedestrians. The gig workers are incentivized to go fast and bike recklessly in a way that pedestrians aren't

Some of the proposals the safety conscious people are suggesting, though, feel a bit harsh to me. I don't want to have to get a licence for a bike that assists me when going up hill. On the other hand, if people are treating these like electric motorcycles then vehicle lisencing makes more sense to me

As for the article, I felt like it was balanced in a way the headline is not

Thanks mate! You're the real MVP!
