How would you measure "sustainable growth focused on actual quality of life"? Generally economic growth goes hand in hand with an objective increase in quality of life, though as i just mentioned, the ways of measuring that are vi

It amazes me that climate activists never seem to push for nuclear, the most obvious solution.

Setting up Postgres is a PITA compared to SQLite. It comes bundled with python these days. Obviously it's going to be a trade off as to which one causes you more pain.

I think that would depend a lot on context (like everything).

Sounds like a variation on the "Choose boring technology" presentation. I agree with this idea, but there are far too many resume driven developers out there. https://boringtechnology.club/

So true. Trying to explain to them that the latest fad will only add complexity seem to be a loosing battle.

Gotta pay off all the right people. Get that covid one on to the childhood vaccination schedule? Emergency use authorization, unknown long term effects, more harm than good for this age bracket, no problem.

Reddit is awful. The whole system is designed to create a groupthink. Downvoting of alternate opinions, post throttling and over zealous moderators banning people for wrongthink. Actual discussion of unpopular opinions is impossible. This

I try to convince them to keep stuff simple at my work, but we still go creating a shitshow of epic proportions. If our app was done the traditional way it could probably run on a Rasperry Pi. Instead they are pushing for microservicces, on

I haven't used Tailwind, but from what I have seen it looks just like the old school way of writing inline CSS. But then it extracts it to a css file, no? Except that I read that it's great for writing, but a nightmare for reading

Get some of the muffler things for building sites. One of my previous workspaces had a couple of these siting around.

Is there going to be a flip on kubernetes like we saw with the mongo hype from 10 years ago? It seems overkill for so many things.

Bollocks. Various major cities were supposed to be underwater by 2000, then 2020. Sea levels have risen a few millimeters at most. Or can you dig out some of the ones you have found to be accurate? Here's one that wasn't: https:

I was suspicious of the legality when I first got asked to sign, but I assume a legal team makes up a part of such a large workforce.

Isn't it obvious that Wikipedia is no longer a site updated by amateurs these days? It's heavily pushing agendas and is likely financed by those pushing such agendas. Even the founder says that it is heavily biased these days. Alw

You should learn when not to code.

I would say that over engineered is not-good-at-programming. Though it's a mistake made by more experienced developers.

It's not managed to annoy me, which is quite impressive. I never really considered Docusign anything special for usability, until your comment, but that's because it gets out of your road enough not to notice it.

Except it's usually more "I just read about fantastic technology X, we need to use that". Ignoring the actually problems we have and whether technology X will solve them in any way at all.

Salesforce made me unhappy enough to quit a previous job. What a horrendous platform.

Django temples are pretty simple. They are basically HTML with a a few constructs that you can put variables or loops in. Way simpler than React and Typescript.

Doesn't look like 100% mortality rate to me. This guy is pretty shit in a kayak, but his friends knew what to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_q8KiEfW7k
