   The biggest problem with front-end development is that it goes all the way from static websites to complex web apps, and developers can't tell the difference. Everyone jumps on the latest hype, going from either server to front-end, or

    I wonder if we need some kind of other independent institution for this. Like every proper democracy should have a separation of powers with: a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary. Maybe the "misinformation office" should f

    I'm a Linux guy, not an Apple fan. But the hardware is always top notch. If you look at the MacBook: the trackpad, the sound, the battery life, the overall quality, ... I haven't found any laptop hardware that comes even close to

    Didn't I read recently that Meta, Google, and all those companies are laying off people? Not going to talk about Twitter because that's a special case ;).

    So your claim is that all the developers working on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero are not able to understand it? I have a master's degree in CS, and I'm not able to understand it?

    It always surprises me how a tech/startup oriented forum like HN is so negative towards crypto. I think it's insane that someone invented an algorithm to transfer value over the internet, without the involvement of a central party
