what are some organisations and companies who actually care about inclusion and ethics, doing good work?

An underrated approach to test-driving code is taking advantage of unrolled loops.

This pairs extremely well with the zero, one, many approach where you start with the empty case, then add logic to support a single input, then add logic to support two inputs, and so on.

We can use this approach to de-risk the jump from "single input" to "multiple inputs".

if (input.size() == 1) {  
 // One element case  
else if (input.size() == 2) {  
 // Two elements case  
} else if (...) {  
 // And so on  
}   

Our goal, then, is to refactor the contents of each block to look as similar as possible, such that extracting out a loop rather than a multi-step conditional is a task that can be delegated to your tooling or IDE.

Structuring your incremental test-drive development in this way may seem counter-intuitive, but it's another example of staging out low-risk changes and refactoring duplication out into a clearer form.

So you know the problem some people were having where they came here and couldn't find enough interesting accounts to make a good home feed?

For me, Threads has the exact opposite problem. The feed is algorithmically generated and is full of influencer and brand accounts posting absolute garbage.
