> What is the scalability of dang?

That's a super interesting question. In my idealist mind, if one person can do something, anyone can do it (given reasonable levels of teaching and learning ability).

I don't think it looks like DaaS -- each company must curate their own "dang" group that has an almost gut-level understanding of the site's "sinew", or the ideals that it lives by come hell or high water.

Maybe Twitter doesn't even have a philosophy. Maybe it ought to.

Nope. I can't be dang.

I can learn the tools he uses. I can learn the procedures he follows. But I don't think that I can learn his patience and his charity toward people who are being flaming trolls. I mean, I've seen him model it. But I can't imitate it for long.

Ye gods, Dang as a Service is 100% my favorite thing of 2022.
