Don't strawman other people's comments.

Yes, most people don’t drive 200 mi/day. It’s really ok.

Commented: "Cubans rendered powerless as outages persist and tensions with US escalate"

The fossil fuel industry has stolen the bulk of Cuba’s income. Need to switch to solar and batteries to onshore your energy production. China could help here and get a big diplomatic win if they were to give Cuba subsidized access to their clean energy assets.

Commented: "Oban, the job processing framework from Elixir, has come to Python"

It was an off-the-cuff comment and probably not worded ideally but the intent was to discuss how Oban is branching off into a new direction for their business based on language-specific products while I went a different direction with Faktory. Since I came to the exact same fork in the road in 2017, I thought it was relevant and an interesting topic on evolving software products.
