States like california have a comparable (if not higher) minimum wage and require the servers to be paid at least the minimum. I guarantee you, if european servers had a chance, they too would try to charge tips as much as possible because

This is a big misconception - servers make way more with tips. Here's a reddit thread [0] to give you some perspective. They're absolutely right, why would they take minimum wage when they can make 50-60/hr. https:/&#x2

My controversial opinion: Everybody should just start charging for tips. For years now, whenever I've pointed out that tipping makes no sense, people hit back with how that's just the way it is or point out how servers would make

I love Rust. But I don't recommend Rust for this kind of stack - only because Rust's ecosystem is not that stable. I swear rust has some of the fastest iteration, with sometimes really complicated setups out of any mainstream lang

The point is that it's easier for a service provider to spend 1-2 hours (or across multiple people) when they don't have to spend 12 years of training with high attrition rates. Both because it's more affordable, and because

Demonstrably untrue. Out of the 21 top level comments, all but two mentioned one or more of: fastify, express, kora, hona, adnos, bun/elysia Half of them recommended Fastify. Other results: 3 express, 2 hono, 2 bun/elysia, 1 adnos

I'll continue beating the dead horse: I don't trust Google. At best GCP is slightly better than AWS (debatable), which is not enough to offset the risk because of how much of a pain it is to switch cloud providers. Even if GCP shu
