I was interviewed for a podcast about the future! I went into a public speaking trance, but apparently talked about: why @AOC is right and algorithms are biased, how ad-based business models need to change, and the ethos and future of @curiousfictions. breaker.audio/forward-thinki…

Many ES6-updated styleguides and most modern JS examples use them with reckless abandon, but if you're transpiling, watch out for waste.
