I'm curious where the majority of the win came from? Do you have a before & after trace handy to compare what changed? Looks like you opted not to use SSR, which I think is a good choice for smaller teams. CSS changes are unlikely

Wouldn't there be a more likely explanation for an unintended bit flip than a cosmic ray? Perhaps some random hardware effect like an unintentional 'Row hammer' bit flip in other parts of the system, a very rare hardware race

I'm not saying they should assume. I'm stating that if the seller clearly knew, then it should be represent correctly at the time of the sale.

I think my original language was unclear. Let me rephrase it to: It's a prudent assumption for an educated buyer to expect a lock feature that was unlocked accidentally to become locked again later knowing companies like Tesla and thei

The key of this issue here is that there's a software lock that's been incorrectly unlocked. So it's a reasonable assumption that it might become locked again in the future. Regardless of the product, I believe that morally i

Maybe both of these two things can be true at the same time. This might be a sign that society is spending too many resources operating software companies for silly things when they would be better spent else where. Looking at the costs and

If it's the same valuation used when making offers and refreshers then cutting it will hurt the company.

Pay is based on market conditions. Not cost of living or taxes. That's particularly true for location based pay. That's why you end up with certain areas with very high cost of living and very low pay. This myth needs to stop.

3x -> 3.15x is a 5% raise. That's hardly a promotion.

This would be a really cool concept to turn into a cookie clicker style incremental game. Upgrade auto-defraggers. Move to defragging larger disks, larger page sizes, more complex file systems.

It's not exponential. And even though 5% is 66% higher than 3%, the monthly payment is $5,368 instead of $4,216 on 1m which is 27% higher. Sure you pay twice as much interest over 30 years.

Say you take a 7 ARM at 2% instead of 3% for a 700k mortgage. You're saving $50,000 in interest during the first 7 years. That's 7% of your mortgage. Then 7 years of inflation can knock down your principle further which might be p

I worked on Facebook Web Infra while we were adopting Flow. And typing was a huge productivity and safety boost. Sure, you can build without out. There's no denying that. But now we're in 2022 and we have mature type checkers for

Yup, I understood that. That's just the one I personally found the most surprising in your list.

> We did not type-check our codebase For me that's the most surprising. Personally type-checking has such an immediate ROI on productivity. Even if adopting it incrementally. It's certainly not required to build a business but

You eliminate #3 by having data preloaders inline it into the html response and move it into #1. But without SSR your rendering still starts after #2 instead of #1. I think your point is still correct. SPA by default are a huge regression a

It's certainly a leak. That setInterval is going to be holding the closure context alive which will reference the component in many frameworks. The setInterval will also keep firing causing, wasting CPU and battery. It's hard to t

We don't have high streets here. All my adjacent banks are in the middle of a parking lot not near anything else I'd want to interact with during my precious Saturday except maybe the grocery store. Sure that's a bad design a

I care barely drive to a bank within 10 minutes, which isn't the bank I have an account with. It's only open during my work hours (9-5pm M-F), or I have to go on a Saturday. The wait time to see a clerk alone are often 10 minutes

True, but at those levels the marginal utility of money is much lower than 30 months of your life. Clearly some people take the chance, I wouldn't.
