Alpine has bitten me on several occasions as well. Nowadays, both on my previous and current job, we go for Debian slim. Works perfectly and is worth the extra bytes. I will also never use alpine again :-)

I partly agree with you, but I also think that using debugger/stepping through code/test manually will take longer times in most cases. And it's time wasted that does not produce anything "permanent" - unlike tests.

To clarify my point, I think nodejs is great for the backend part of the view layer and to proxy requests to another backend service. But for business logic, database interactions, calculations, etc, I really think the language construct is

The main reason is because we shoehorn complex apps/ui's into a browser that wasn't made for it. It's not the UI is very complex , or that there are ton of frameworks with different maturity levels. It's because the

I don't think using copilot is much worse than autocomplete. It's an improvement of our toolbox, students SHOULD learn to use it. It's not much worse than using c instead of assembler, or java instead of c, or ... Throughout

Widgets that indicates purpose. It can be tricky to make everything self explanatory, but at least if you use icons or text rather than just colour you give the brain something to help you recognize.

Looks nice and something I could use. However, I have a rough time buying into apps that are built for one platform only. I move daily between Mac, Linux and occasionally windows and want the tools I put time and money into to be available
