I think this is broadly true, but there's also a subset of DOD design advice (e.g. see Richard Fabian's book) that has a lot to say about relational database design. In our team it's provided us with some very practical motiv

It's a great talk, I just wish there was a good focused textual version of it, as it is a very long video to recommend to others. Very worth it, but a big investment. It's a great example of what I think of as vertical integration

The flip side of that is, why spend your finite life in a way that's not enjoyable? If the experience of constantly being under pressure to deliver, to go faster, to work more, to produce more, isn't enjoyable - then it's a w

I felt similarly. I wonder why the author is so invested in Haskell specifically becoming an AI-pilled ecosystem and community when the choice of language rounds to not mattering? Go is the perfect language for this new world. Its developme

What I assume you mean is not the network effect, where more users of a product makes the product more valuable. That's still true for Zig as more users increase the ecosystem, funding potential etc. regardless of where the compiler so

But lang in this case would be a property of the document itself, not the user agent, right? I can't see a way in CSS to detect the user agent preferred language, but you could do this in JS and add another attribute to the document or
