    When you put related code together, you get to *choose* the order that people read the code, and you can optimize it for understanding. One Class Per File is ceding this order to what is effectively randomness, instead of Thoughtfulness

    The real story here is the Millennial turnout, which went from 22% in 2014 to 42% in 2018. Keep it coming, Millennials! Vote like the world depends on it, because it kind of does.
