I like this idea a lot: a "separation of powers" between the Agent and the credit card company protects the consumer. We've used this for decades (centuries?) in corporate culture: a company's Accounts Payable department double checks the invoices that their other departments have authorized.

This has been a powerful tool for the team at Increase. As someone who didn't work at Stripe before Increase, I had never seen a version of the tool before. I completely agree with the author's point -- "it felt so clearly the right approach and so necessary that it was surprising every company didn’t have a similar tool."

Happy to answer any questions about how we use Checker!

My guess is LinkedIn.

We have a hybrid approach like this in San Francisco - it's called Scoot and it is like an electric Vespa, not a push scooter or a pedal-assist bike. You drive it in traffic lanes like a car or motorcycle.

You can park them on the street in a regular parking spot (in most neighborhoods), or park them in a garage charging spot and get $1 off your ride. If you return a sidewalk-parked Scoot that is almost out of power, then your ride is free. It works pretty well and the pricing seems pretty fair.

I think that this is not always guaranteed to work, because {first: $, middle: $, last: $} is the same as {first: $, last: $, middle: $}

... so calling Object.keys() is not necessarily going to use a consistent ordering. I think that is why they have to use the more verbose syntax in the other library.

I think you could do something like: {first: $.0, middle: $.1, last: $.2}, (f, m, l) => ... pretty easily, though.
