It’d be great to learn about other code by prominent politicians.
Off the top of my head, I only recall one other example: COBOL on Wheelchair [0], a web micro-framework for GNU COBOL, written by Adrian Zandberg [1], a Polish MP.
Wordtris ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordtris ) was developed by Armen Sarkissian - the current president of Armenia

Does anyone know why the Mac port has not been updated since 2012 (but downloads are still being offered)?
See https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues/18
Looks like there's a working build again.

Most places in France think that when you order a Martini you want a glass of vermouth, not a cocktail. And if you give them the ingredients they will say "ah like a vodka martini but with gin?" ...
That's mostly because "Martini" is the prevalent brand of vermouth in central Europe. It's super confusing... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martini_%26_Rossi

What I don't understand is how do things get this far down the road before a good old fashioned sanity check happens? I have got to think that Soft Bank knew/knows the valuation was off. The fact that they pushed on means they either intended to try and get away with it/take the money and run as I cant believe incompetence is the reason here. How did this get so far along???
As for Adam N, I have to think some part of him knew that it was a bullshit valuation and all the hand-wavy "we are a tech company that also happens to do real estate" doesn't pass the smell test to me. He has personally enriched himself quite a bit so even if the whole thing falls apart he will be ok. I don't know if there is a bubble in SV or not, but it seems that the last couple of really huge unicorn companies have all been based on BS(We Work), Fraud(Theranos), and untenable business models (Uber). I'm far removed from that whole scene so maybe I'm showing my ignorance by stating this. I am, however, very curious to hear about any startup unicorns that are profitable or at least have a clear roadmap to profitability and not based on a business model that will be outlawed in a few years.

Softbank was hoping Vision Fund II will be closed once this collapses so pumping it up to 47B made sense to juice the returns on Fund I.
Adam N. already took 700M of his chips off the table before the IPO as well, so he clearly expected the music to stop playing as well.
That the EU doesn't have unicorns is not an accident of whatever rules you like or dislike, it's entirely by design.
