isn't the issue that capitalism is amoral? you're saying the capitalists (should be) helping by now if they wanted to. They don't do it because capitalism isn't directly incentivizing it? growing economic power is suppos

Why can't you make money with a user-friendly platform for hosting community groups? People are used to paying nominal transaction fees for commerce transactions. Pro versions of group facilitation, messaging, and ticketing is also a t

Yeah, they are not easy. The style of all the elements, i am sure i've seen as tailwind modules. But you're right, if you have users, it's not easy. I shouldn't have posted my comment. Sorry for being negative.

ah, appreciate the reply, and the spirit of creativity. Kinda feel like I got caught being overly critical and here is the actual creator! Thanks for receiving it well and also for putting your stuff out there.

I made my career on open source web technologies before both GitHub and Stackoverflow were a thing. I love the web! And I love making UIs and I can spend untold hours with CSS even! And I agree the state of frontend is completely bonkers. R

agree with you, how would it work otherwise? if rent still works, who are we paying rent to that's not paying into all the negative stuff you mentioned? how do i have shelter in your system?

I agree with your sentiments, but I'm stuck because renting is paying into the exact same problem isn't it?

I think I agree but that's because business-interests always take things to their gross extreme. Humans love anthropomorphizing things and I don't think that's a bad thing. A well placed smiley face really does spark positive

oh that's what i mean though, mouthing, in your head, same thing as in "it's somewhere" that's internal to you. That's why i can't understand how everyone doesn't have an internal monologue.

I'm pro animal welfare. And i'm (trying) not to make absolute justifications for killing animals. But i really do use loose heuristics like minimizing pork because pigs are smart, beef because its terribly energy inefficient and l

I have a hard time too. But specifically about chickens, I happened to run into the opposite sentiment on TV from a farmer. On the idea of eating animals she talked about how she debates it herself but with chickens - she eats chickens - be

What exactly is "internal monologue"? It's heavily debated in the comments. I don't understand though, because when you learn to read you're mouthing words, and over your lifetime it's actually very hard to not

The filters are self-fulfilling. For twenty-somethings ideas are easy and all opportunity is in front. Might as well swing for the fences and yes people do hit home runs. At this stage, debating the actual statistics is misguided use of ene

We're agreeing fwiw. Trades treated like trades are a value-add all around, but they take time, and they aren't necessarily sexy. The teach people to code movement, for whatever reason, portrays itself as being something everyone

That's just it; the "bootcamp" label is marketing. Sibling comment touches on this: the industry intentionally sells more-or-less get-rich-quick schemes. Learn coding in 10-weeks and get hired into a six-figure job. Maybe plu

This seems like a sensitive topic - but taking gender out of it - I do think the "teach people to code" movement has shown to be riddled with issues of premise. Coding is a trade. We don't have plumbing bootcamps. I understan

there's enough counter advice at this point to suggest against "playing entrepreneur" in favor of you know, getting stuff done.

It's a deterrent for other would-be white collar criminals. The punishment should match the magnitude of the fraud so it indeed does deter in proportion.

PMF isn't orthogonal to copy if you're experimenting with copy to drive an outcome. what is the outcome then? how do you measure it? isn't the state of the art conversion? That's the challenge: conversion funnel is compl

More companies think they have PMF than really do. So the risk is they get funding, without fit, and can afford to set up data science orgs to prove out experiments and use non trivial resources running copy tests. if justwords can make thi
