I get where you are coming from, but even if you don't get huge financial windfall, there is just no point in sacrificing yourself anymore. It's not going to make as big of a difference anymore.

To add to this, something that helped me accept this change: your acquisition marked the achievement of your startup goal. You're done now, you can now stop living for your work, and start working to live.

That's exactly the point. The common misconception that I am frustrated by, is that people compare their experience working on a pure-go project with pure-go dependencies to their experiences working on pure-python projects with non-py

These languages face the same challenges as python do once you look beyond compiling pure-<language> to executables. This common misconception is beyond frustrating to constantly have to deal with in these arguments.

As I understand it, it's actually the fact that docusign maintains a record in their database of you signing the document which makes the e-signature verifiable. That's what the hash in your docusign PDF refers to, so the signatur

Although it may not seem like it, the people you look up to most likely also have these thoughts to some degree. Especially as you get older, the challenge is to learn to appreciate what you do have, instead of focusing on what you do not h

I'm thrilled to see people adressing this (decades old?) footgun. I hope there will be more collaboration in the future. The split universes system and language specific package managers operate in are a cause for much more issues.

To avoid the conversion (and more complicated path finding algorithm) and use less cpu, I would think. Game dev is all about the cpu budget in order to achieve a target frame rate.

The reality is that "Outside US support" is usually the lower priority step-two of any project, because it is easier to make more money inside the US, for US companies, for example because of (a lack of) regulations like GDPR. (So

This feels like the most probable explanation to me; companies hire tons of people skilled in web development, front and backend, and then suddenly desire a desktop app. Then they either don't want to recruit people who specialize in d

So have you considered the possibility that it may not be the fault of these package managers, but that there may be a different problem underneath it all that a package manager cannot fix for you?

In most npm projects, you don't depend on C extensions. For python projects that don't depend on C extensions, you already have your "just works" experience with poetry. If you really want a "just works" experi

Does that imply it's possible to implement 2D font/vector graphics rendering on a GPU and end up getting burned by patent law? I am having a hard time imagining they were awarded such a generic patent. Anyway, I will adjust my que
