the process, in brief, goes something like this:
- you write something (if this is the first time through this sequence for this work, it will definitely be bad. that's ok and expected)
- analyze that, which will reveal some significant flaws
- figure out some ways that may help with those flaws
- go back to step one with your improved understanding
this can be very frustrating to begin with, but after a few tries you will start to see some improvement, and maybe even something you actually like.
the lead dev has gone on the record that using singular they in the documentation is putting politics into his project, so i expect it to be possibly technically interesting (emphasis on possibly), but no effort put into accessibility and with a fucking horrendous dev community.
i think the way they want it to be understood is "if elected, i will so thoroughly address all of the issues you care about that you don't have to vote on them again", which is kind of reasonable until you try working out how that would happen

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

This is pretty common among conservative books (and other media more generally). It's produced to give people who already agree with it confirmation that they are right ("It's in this very authoritative book!"), not to convince anyone or convey new or interesting information.
