And so that self-selects for people who already are unemployed then, right? Most developers I know (including myself) look for a new job while still having a job, as to not create a financial hole in-between. I'd be curious if that doe

Maybe all humans should speak 1 language. Maybe there should be no countries. Maybe we all should be the same color and have the same culture. While this may be an interesting idea to discuss over a beer or two, it is so far removed from ho

Why have regulations at all then? Why regulate water purity when you can choose to not drink water you're skeptical of, or why regulate food if you can just not eat food that you're skeptical of? Regulations are there not for you,

Getting kind of tired of this Europe vs US trope. Europe is a huge place with each country having a rather unique economy, making a blanket statement like you just did entirely ignores that, and where does this constant need to compare one

I'm in Estonia, should I also be worried about the toxic algae? I had no idea about this.

Jobs are regional. Here in Estonia I see a lot more Node.js jobs YoY, very few Python gigs, zero Rust jobs, and very few C# jobs. Heck, PHP has more jobs than C#. Node/JS seems to compete with Java here for job popularity, according to

So far more efficient development tools have resulted in more tech companies / products being created, resulting in a increase in net total developers needed. The idea that 10% more efficient devs would mean less devs needed assumes th

According to this it would be the opposite: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28687259/ So maybe Sauna is good, but where Sauna is popular is usually a place that is very cold and humid, which is not good.

Pretty sure CRA was dead a long time ago already and it's very upsetting how little the React team cares about its users. The unwillingness to act on the CRA being broken, the forceful promotion of a pretty locked-in framework Next.js

Yeah, I was around back then, and the difference from then to now is equivalent to the difference between inventing the wheel and going to the moon. Not necessarily in a good way.

Oh no. Am 32 and I really like the comfort of familiar. I've lived a hell of a life in my 20s, spanning multiple countries and continents, and now feel like I've lived many lifetimes worth of life, and am really loving the peace a

Difference here being that you actually learned the information about Ruby on Rails, whereas the modern programmer doesn't learn anything. They are but a clipboard-like vessel that passes information from an LLM onto a text editor, rar

But that there is the difference. You are using it to put knowledge in your brain, whereas what I'm seeing most people do is entirely skip that part, and just being a sort of clipboard-like vessel that takes information from ChatGPT an

One thing is to see senior engineers turning to brainrot, and seemingly overnight forgetting how to do basic programming, to the point where if ChatGPT is down they suddenly have no idea how to do work, and another thing is having an entire

I was pretty sure that Azure in Europe is using EU data centers or something of the like for its users data, is that not the case?

This makes it all the more nice that EU banned AI for use cases like these.

Yes, US has at-will firing, and healthcare tied to the employer, and so forth. Basically the US has made sure that the corporations have all the power, and the people have none of it. Does this make it easier to make companies? Well of cour

What's with this American mentality that everything needs to always be the best, and if it isn't, it should't even exist? I know USA is alright with breaking the law, invading people's privacy and lobbying its government

by askonomm 2y ago
In other words, to be successful you need to be able to break the law and lobby the government? That is indeed the USA mindset, or should I say United Corporations of America? I'm happy EU is not USA.

So, what magic thing would convince you if not the UN, and if you do not respect the people who live in Estonia? I may be off base here, but you sound like a specific someone our people call vatnik. Maybe you'll only be happy if we all

As an Estonian, I especially don't like being called eastern europe(ean). We're not, we're northern, according to UN geoscheme classification, according to EuroVoc, and I mean you can also just read the wikipedia page of a pl

I recently went from 60 to 144, also on a 4k (27") monitor, and to me too it has been a very noticeable upgrade. No tearing of any kind when dragging windows around, and scrolling feels buttery smooth.
