Looking at the candidates [1] and considering the needs of the TAG, these would be my top 3 recs for those voting:
1. Dan Clark: the TAG desperately needs folks with JS and UI expertise
2. @christianliebel We need people who believe the Web can be a viable alternative to proprietary native platforms, and he also seems to have the kind of energy the TAG needs.
3. @marcosc Marcos Caceres: his past TAG tenure and extensive standards experience make this a no brainer

Ben Folds released a Christmas album back in October: "Sleigher". Or as the description on the bandcamp page says:
"The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas..."

In the past two days I have discovered that two senior developers at work didn't know that python type hinting does not affect runtime execution. Is this not common knowledge?
Just in case:
Python type hinting does NOT provide any runtime type guarantees!
Type hinting helps your IDE/linter/static checker interpret developer intent, and can be excellent documentation, but does absolutely nothing at runtime.
