You can use Hotwire libs with Django - integrating stimulus into my django project wasn't any more complicated than integrating tailwindcss for example.

Important to note that this too big to fail point occurs very quickly in some cases. Non-IT companies are generally very risk/change averse in regards to their IT infrastucture (and for very good reason, see e.g. [1] and [2]). So if yo

Word of mouth. The point is to realize that almost every non-IT company of certain size (lets say 50-100 employees+) that started before SAP&similiar became popular in your country has large body of custom software and that the guy who

I think this experience is true if you work in software companies. I work for a factory maintaining it's existing custom ERP and building new software for it (basically imagine a programmer consultant for 1 costumer just with regular c

In Slovenia local farmers started using vending machines for homegrown milk, eggs, pig fat and similiar produce. While they were very rare just a few years ago, now they are very commonplace, even in smaller towns.

I tried switching to US a few times, but every time muscle memory made me give up soonish - especially since there are big benefits to using same keyboard layout as other people in your office are using. Also practically everytime I need to

Just as example, on my slovenian QWERTZ layout: [ - altgr+f, ] - altgr+g, { - altgr+b, } - altgr+n, \ - altgr+q, | - altgr+w, ~ - altgr+1. You get used to them, though you start feeling like a pianist after a short coding session. The one m

For me it's just a few seconds, but my css needs are rather compact. Luckily I don't have to change styles daily though.

Agreed, I find tailwind defaults sensible, but it tends to make templates quite unreadable. My compromise with it is just using @apply in css files: styles.css: .button { @apply px-2 py-1 rounded-sm shadow-md hover:shadow-lg font-bold cur

Well Ghost is free if you self-host - but I agree that while hosting it is simple, it is still a barrier to entry.

I would argue that internet makes good resources even harder to find - there is so much of everything, with no curation, that any resource's chance of gaining long term recognition is practically zilch.

The problem isn't that resources like this didn't exist in the past (Calculus Made Easy was written in 1910 after all), problem is that they aren't wellknown - and that is unlikely to change even today.

They don't - ratings of everyone under 2000 got increased, according to formula: player rating + 0.4 * (2000 - player rating). So everyone now has rating above 1400, except if their rating fell under in meantime, in which case they wil

It is since new rating regulations, which are in effect as of 2024: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022024 See 7.1.2. Ratings aren't tracked by clubs even when players are under this cutoff - all games for rati

Minimum FIDE rating is 1400, so you really cannot be 800 FIDE. Also the gap between online and FIDE ratings is closer than people think.
