Seattle’s cultural tendency towards activism (minimum wage and worker rights are issues you can reliably campaign on) may also be factoring in but the Times only choose to cover that issue as a pejorative. Something something competition in local news.
Read an entire article about cratering demand for ride sharing in tech heavy Seattle that fails to mention remote work once: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/seattle-area-demand-for-uber-lyft-still-not-back-up-to-speed-an-outlier-in-the-u-s/
ranting about American car-centric culture
Really love the mindset of pedestrian shaming that is so prominent in America. Here's a completely unrelated transit article in a local community paper where the only comment is a nasty one from someone who I guess does not believe that pedestrians have the right-of-away.

Oh and my family and I have been on sabbatical for a bit. We bicycled the West Coast of the United States which you can relive through photos here: https://www.instagram.com/mederosabbatical/

@d saw a t-shirt that I briefly thought said "wafer is life." In hindsight "water is life" was a more obvious choice but I guess I love you more.
Also, please make this shirt.
this post about "the evolution of modern web app architecture" on the heroku blog is... vaguely dystopian. not even saying it's inaccurate/bad advice but the language they use... "The constraints of the web’s request/response pattern led to poor user experiences. Imagine if every installed application on your computer had to re-render the entire screen whenever you clicked something!" yes a web of hypertext documents would be horrible! thank god we got rid of that notion https://blog.heroku.com/modern-web-app-architecture
