Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naรฏve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

UNTIL ITโ€™S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trumpโ€™s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Rails Needs New Governance Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and Iโ€™ve used Rails at every job Iโ€™ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But thereโ€™s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: โ€œIt always seems impossible until itโ€™s done.โ€ That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until Itโ€™s Done,โ€ a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.
