Since you wrote "using something other than Python" and not necessarily only Ruby, definitely look into Livebook and Elixir, and the whole ecosystem around it, including: - https://github.com/elixir-nx/axon N

It is a good point, often raised by people. I researched that for my sister for instance, and found that this series https://www.thomann.co.uk/kawai_es_120_b.htm is a very good compromise (for < 600€). I consider it is b

Fourier is harder than MIDI, more technical to achieve, and also less reliable in noisy environments. Also from a HN MVP point of view this is about picking shortest path and ship something (especially important since there are other things

In this case, we indeed have multiple components (although not third-party), and being able to refactor those without risk is quite nice.

the source sometimes changed for small internal reasons in the library generating the PDF (prawn). So just comparing the source would not give a clear cut answer. A visual comparison has helped quite nicely over time.

In the case of TinyLetter, this is what happened to me: I didn't receive any email notifications before the shutdown (I verified multiple times). I reached out to Mailchimp and they deleted everything ( https://x.com/thi

In that regard, my experience has been the following churn scale: JavaScript churns more than Rails which churns more than Elixir/Phoenix. I believe this is caused by “how sound the fundamentals are” (technical debt in the language its
