    What if it wasn't the jail time that "ruined lives" but an entitled shitbird's decision to violate a woman? This is how consequences work.
  108. …in reply to @catehstn
    That framing makes me want to vomit. The guy should have ruined his own life when he damaged hers. But as usual he gets away with it.

    I don't think about being sexually assaulted often but as a victim let me tell you: it is something that has stayed with me ever since.

    .ecarrion89 is talking about problems with massive view controllers and how categories are evil.
  259. …in reply to @catehstn
    It can be hard to reuse view controllers because they are tightly coupled to app control flow. ecarrion89

    .ecarrion89 is using emoji to illustrate problems in code I love it 🔥
    oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API
  261. …in reply to @catehstn
    Coordinators can abstract out parts of the application flow and make it easier to reuse view controllers. ecarrion89
  262. …in reply to @catehstn
    Coordinators are a place for navigation logic. Mean that the data in the view controller can be immutable. ecarrion89
  263. …in reply to @catehstn
    Coordinators make it easier to reuse view controllers, allow A/B testing and easier integration tests. ecarrion89
