Apple is not going to enter the commodity server business, that is just a race to the bottom and probably the reason they got out of it in the first place. The only reason XCode Cloud (or XCode at all) exists is because people need it to de

My only real ORM experience is with SQLAlchemy (and a tiny bit of trying to learn ecto) and based on this thread I have to ask are all the other ORMs just terrible? I've been learning some rust lately and writing out boilerplate code t

To be fair to PHP there have been quite a few improvements to the language in recent years. I even hear Laravel is pretty nice to use. I'll never know that stuff though because the PHP I generally encounter is 15 years old spaghetti.

I don't even properly know what IBM is now that they spun a bunch of things off. I guess they tossed all the services/consulting into Kyndryl and everything else got to stay blue.

Most people using poetry do not care about python versions outside the one they are currently using. It is a concern for library producers but they are definitely the minority.
