What difference does the runtime make to the (average) end user? I love that I can create shortcuts of some web apps that have their own window, menu bar etc. (this is already possible in Chrome) and I don't really care they are "

I have a really hard time working for someone who isn't technical, regardless of their role. I also have a hard time buying into the narrative that someone can be just a good manager. As an engineer and a manager I took my time to un

Why? The language is great, it's the runtime that needs some work. We have bun because someone thought kind of the same thing about Javascript and decided to improve the runtime rather than to learn Rust.

The premise is that you don't want to audit the source. It's extremely costly and you end up doing it for every update.

This is just a wrapper for SQL, every language has one. The same is true for GraphQL, I've never written a GraphQL scema or query by hand, always used a good wrapper that handled all the type safety I needed. Constructing GQL queries

I'm not familiar with LINQ and even though it might be a good solution we're not debating GraphQL vs LINQ (which, as far as I can tell, is specific to C#, at least its reference implementation), I'm questioning your "str

Well, GraphQL aside I've been using the same stack for almost ten years and it's only becoming more and more popular so I'd say I'm doing pretty well in terms of choosing the tech, thanks for your concern though!

Calling SQL crap just because there's a way to abuse it is like saying C is crap because I could do `int * userGuess = get_number_from_user(); * userGuess;` with nothing more than a compiler warning (if I'm lucky). Would be nice i

Your argument stops being valid the second you realize that a lot of devs who use GraphQL started out as skeptics (e.g. me), then spent time actually understanding its nuances before coming to a conclusion for a specific project/team

I don't understand, are you saying async is hard or that a poor implementation is a source of issues (e.g. async function that calls sync primitives)? Because I totally agree with the latter but I have no idea what "hard" mea

This 1000x. It's such a slippery slope that you'd think by now most people would be aware but no, there's always the "who needs an ORM" guy :)

Why would you block a process that could use CPU cycles to do something useful just to wait on I/O? With the right primitives async is not "hard" nor inconvenient. Maybe you're referring to concurrency?

“Tax free” is deceptive, if it’s only referred to foreign sourced income. Income from any work is considered sourced where the work is performed, so this would only apply to foreign passive income (e.g. dividends or capital gains). And I’m
