  • I would think it would take 4 back to back presidential election wins by the Democratic party. Maybe 3 if it included wipeouts of Republicans in Congress and at the state level. No party can survive being out of power for that long without changing and shifting towards were voters are and that leaves the Democrats room to shift left to solidify that flank.

    We’ve already had 1. We’re on the cusp of a possible second. That means we could be 4 years from a complete collapse of the Republican party, if people were actually serious about creating a real leftist movement in this country. That’s because winning is how you affect change. A loss just tells politicians that they need to be more like the winner.






  • Which one is important is going to depend on the context for sure.

    If it’s an open source library, they probably won’t care about 1.

    If you’re working on internal software used by other developers within the company, management probably really does care about 1 because it’s going to impact their timelines.

    If you’re working on a proprietary user-facing API, then even if it doesn’t cost your company anything management might still care because it could piss off valuable customers.

    I think that, for what ever decision OP is trying to make, looking at that context is more important than quibbling over what exactly constitutes a “breaking change.”
