I’m fluent in JS/TS, Python, C++ and Go. Despite that I legitimately love all these languages for different sets of reasons, Go is, by a fair margin, my go-to. After 15 some-off years of writing code, to me, the most key component to a

This is interesting to me, because this is the opposite of what I’ve heard about working for Stripe. Do you have anything to add to this?

While probably true, the current goal is to help the people of Ukraine. Helping the Russian people may be a good goal once this job’s complete (although I’m not sure what the current overall Russian sentiment is toward the situation).

There isn’t actually a whole lot of “this” in this —- from an API surface viewpoint, most UI frameworks (React included) are fairly minimal sets of abstractions. The benefit is more along the software development axis of homogenization than

I resisted moving to Pixelmator Pro for a long time since I was a bit miffed at how they handled the original Pixelmator to Pro transition, but it is genuinely a better product, and I now understand the rationale for getting charged again.
