   I have always followed a lot of tulip growers. Never have I see so many gardeners I follow prospering at once, mostly thanks to the tulip ecosystem. The buyers seem happy to support the growers. The growers seem happy to receive this suppor

   No one who had spent a single minute on Android's Facebook app or Messenger would put a single thought into using Facebook technologies for their front end. The fact that it's a popular choice is truly a mystery to me.

   So because there's no churn and everything is standardized I assume you can tell me which state management library is the correct choice for a React app without causing any controversy?

   Web3 is not relevant today and there's little indication it ever will be.

    And the company could be better off without people who have no interest in building empathy with the most essential workers in their business. So it sounds like a win/win if they get rid of people like you.

    There is a gaping chasm between what users say they'll pay for and what they will actually pay for. Especially in social media.

    I don't think there's much chance of a boom in typewriters...? And I'm not sure how my cryptocurrency skepticism affects investments in electric cars.

    Ok so first I have to incur the CC fees while obtaining the crypto, and then I can avoid them at purchase time (but still have to pay Tx fees / gas / whatever over the top). Cool cool really neat stuff.

    Remember when the Ethereum "community" decided to roll back millions of dollars of transactions? All of these decentralised services are under the total control of a small number of powerful people. It's a myth.

    I have a special immunity to crypto scams. I simply never have and never will purchase any kind of crypto "currency" until someone can articulate, at a bare minimum, one advantage it confers to me over and above "normal"

    C#, a 21 year old programming language which consistently makes it into the top 6 programming languages by popularity in all methodologies of measuring, "launched and soon sank with little trace"? That's an interesting take.

    I really don't know why people need to get so defensive about programming languages. I'm generally happy to live and let live and I really don't think languages matter very much. But when it comes to Rust people, there is a s
