Ahh let the bikeshedding continue. In these situations all I want to say is "Who cares". Optimization matters when it actually solves a problem, before that it's just wasted effort. I don't hear the general public yellin

One area I think is particularly challenging is wrangling third party tutorials. Either no one has written a stellar "get started tutorial" yet, or the existing one that ranks well on google is out of date.

I’ve been through the Haskell learning curve. Long story short it’s awful and in my opinion not worth the pain. I think Haskells problems breakdown into 3 distinct areas. The community, the conventions and the language itself. Firstly the c

Maybe open up more med schools and drop the excessive volunteering requirements. It only serves to filter out the talented with a poor economic background.

These comments feel skewed. I look for activity and support. Reading the actual code is typically far from my mind. The time-opportunity cost isnt worth it on average

Well I mean you kind of have to get bogged down with monads since it's the only way to do something with IO, i.e. useful. (Though I'm biased because I think Haskell is a terrible language for everyday usage :P )

I imagine it’s because JavaScript has the lowest barrier of entry. Think tutorials, setup time, and where people generally start their journey into building websites and web apps. Same thing for backend developers learning the front end the

To be blunt. It seems like you care more about feeling important through criticism that making sure that your criticism is valid.

Anecdotally this is very wrong. I work remote and don’t have an external monitor a lot of time. When I do my laptop stays open as a secondary screen. When I’m at HQ most people have the setup above. My wife has no external monitor. My entir
