the react router / remix shenanigans is why I stepped away from react and went to vue with it's more coherent ecosystem. one day react router changes - next it's nextjs - you can never keep up. with vue you changes only have

if you spend time on HN n on twitter - you would think LLMs are taking over. Next.js / tRPC whatever is running every backend - but then you realize it's just tech bros making noise. I don't like java - but you gotta admire t

GDP numbers can be "imaginary" but production numbers are not. China produces more ships in a year than the US. Generates More Power from Hydro than the whole of Africa. We could dig more -- but that's just on top of my head.

most computer science programs in the US - are just "applied math". I'm from a 3rd world country but did CS in the US at a state school - you only do programming for the first intro programs like C then OOP that's it. Da

inertia is so nice. rescues you from the hotwire mess. you choose your own frontend framework could be react, vue, svelte while at the same time not spinning an api or dealing with client state etc.

cheap chinese panels & lithium batteries have been a godsend in africa. for households they're mostly enough. but not yet that cheap to power industrialization - you still need hydrocarbons for that.

data has always been the greatest moat. some of the oldest companies are data companies think your credit rating provider, your business verifier. your american express.

my non scientific take is life once existed on mars. not the kinda life - we think as similar here on earth but with it's own unique chemical composition - but however there was a planet wide extinction event.

inertia is the 'pragmatic' way. your controller endpoints in your backend - just pass the right amount of data to your inertia view. & every interaction is server driven.

to those who cry about 'BS' like diversity etc ask yourself if people without the same backgrounds, looks would have been able to raise the same amount without a business model.

well written. I think your fatal mistake even though you folks are smart was not understanding the complete value chain of your business. What I mean by understanding the economics of the value chain is you've to understand how your cu

Beautiful work. this has massive potential. I like the video aspect - it's almost as how people learned languages back then by listening to CDs and Tape. but now you can read someone's lips

maybe also the major paper you can rely on for the truth. yeah it's left leaning but it won't spew lies and spread propaganda like the NYT / Washington Post.

this is why inertia.js is a positive path forward. it relegates React, Vue etc to be view layers - purely view layers. all models / state etc handled by your monolith Rails, Laravel server. this simplifies a lot of things. frameworks l

COBOL / ADA etc are very old languages but it doesn't mean they're bad languages. the only major 'risk' I can think of about them is talent pipeline. DOGE wants to rewrite in a few months using Java lol. If it was R

BYD simply shows that Tesla is overvalued. they have battery expertise - making battteries for everyone else. can produce more cars, more cheapily than tesla and everyone else. so why should tesla be valued more than the other car companies
