My dopamine hit often comes from improved performance: Awesome, I cut the runtime by a factor of 25! Or reduced code. Or improved UI. Generally anything that improves my life as a developer or those of my users.

While I understand where that notion comes from, I don't see an answer. Generally the people who are in favour of "removing people from power" aren't the ones who like to take part in the arduous and complex task of rebu

Kotlin has compile-time null-safety. The ? denotes a type than can be null. fun myFunction(x: Number?) { if (x == null) return; print(x + 1); } if you don't check for null first the compiler warns. You can al

Give Kotlin a try. It's a JVM-language and 100% java-compatible, but it can also compile to Javascript (not sure if that backend is production-ready yet though) https://kotlinlang.org/ It's also backed by JetBrain

Yes. What's more you actually change the direction above a certain speed like 5km/h or so. Prior to that you turn the bar into the direction you want to go, above that you do the opposite. The cerebellum rules. When riding a motor

It's not just work and travel, what about all the taxes, consumer protection laws etc. How would selling goods be like? An "EU-supermarket" next to the regular one where you have to show your membership to be able to buy?
