Never heard of Ballerina. Looks pretty neat. I'm curious of all these keywords would add too much cognitive load over time? People don't seem to care for things like Rust, but I found it to be a pretty considerable turn off. If th

HN is pretty divided about Stallman. Bringing up the things he actually at one time said, even if later he said something different, results in a lot of downvoting and toxicity. You can't talk about him without it devolving into binary

This reads like mostly platitudes. "Just do communication good" and "Just hire the right people". I also generally reject "Engineering Management" as a form of "Leadership".

Yes, that’s why I also wrote about the ability to reason about what it’s doing. You don’t have to search for a magician’s tricks if the intention is for you to be able to infer or intuit what they’re doing. It’s magic when the only way to k
