   Anecdotally I think you also see: 1. An increase is Ask HN posts that a short time ago wouldve only been on Stack Overflow 2. An increase in low quality meme comments that a short time ago wouldve only been on Reddit That leads me to believ

   I'm in no way against a new language! Love programming languages, particularly ones that push boundaries and challenge assumptions! (Great work on that front btw Onyx Team) But! When I see powered by WebAssembly. I can't see a goo

   I'm not typically a statistics hawk. However your team having 2 members that are remote, then generalizing it to all remote workers is a bit of a leap. Outside of that I do agree. New technologies that require a high degree of experime

   Postgres is certainly the top of the list (and has been for a decade). Outside of that I think there are a few ways you can split boring. * Reliable + Around forever -> Erlang. (But its different enough from what most know that you may n

    This honestly. I know its not for everyone, but if theres any windows/linux/android users out there wondering why the Apple ecosystem is so sticky, this is one of the small but many reasons why.

    I really like Gleam, and I am a huge fan of more being built on the EVM. Personally I want the EVM to (eventually) get the same level of adoption and mindshare as the JVM. And currently wider Elixir use/education seems like the path to

    Hey Kaveet, I dont know who have all seen the original post but I know you have so I wanted to say I'm sorry. This was my fault. I wanted to support good work as a member of the engineering community but I shouldve added a disclaimer
