ahh the classic - see one anecdote - then create a narrative that the world is changing. if TUIs were truly back - as DHH would like you to believe - his money maker - Basecamp - would be available as a TUI, Salesforce, Workday, Bloomberg e

let's not personalize issues. google made about 400bn last year. 200bn of that was from the US alone. now you can estimate how much the UK brought in. & for PPC rates - you can see conversion rates as well. I run an alternative to

one thing not mentioned is how China is using the older tech DUV's to print advanced chips since replicating EUVs is close to impossible.

not back of the napkin - but back of the head quick calculations - number seem about right. remember the average 'world' user is about 100x to 500x less valuable than a US user.

the tragedy is we are gonna have a generation of "engineers" (if we can call them engineers) who won't know how to properly use tools such as Cassandra, ScyllaDB, FoundationDB etc. excellent db's meant for very specific
