Others might (or might not) notice it, but the important thing is competence always gives you more options, more freedom in situations, in that sense you become "someone". Whatever other people might call it depends on culture, la

Its not about being "solid game", it did not match EA's own sales expectations - thats all. If "angry right-wingers" can make your game fail then maybe you don't understand your target audience, which is what I

Its easy to say now, if react creators knew everything that we know they would've made different choices, but at its time it was a breakthrough compared to other approaches.

Well you do have to think about children and their safety, for example you don't want to expose them to drugs, I hope that much sense is still there.

I tried pharo, its an interesting thing but I don't see it as a particularly practical solution. Yes its editable in runtime, but not the whole thing and not reliably so: I remember changing some low level array methods that broke the

Literate programming is an intriguing concept, but its hard to compete with modern IDEs. Having build system is good, but can you get proper syntax highlight for the code segments? Or goto-symbol, real-time typechecking? I feel like it need

Sure, I don't blame anyone, they can protest as much as they want, but its not going to solve anything.

There was a time factory workers protested against automatisation too. You can't stop it, you have to adapt.

Could you elaborate on how exactly do you use these? I was assuming its for some kind of contract testing, but there are mentions of bundle size, is it used on fetching data to fail early if the format is wrong, something like that?

I'm not justifying Worldcoin and I don't know all the details about what they are doing. My realistic assumption is that all this data will become public one way or another, so I'm trying to understand how we can make sure it

I don't agree that dynamic nature makes things necessarily faster, if you compare Python to C or Java it is true, but if you compare to Typescript it is not. With a decent typing system and a good editor that makes use of it (and AI-as
