One of the design goals of Discourse was that it should work well on mobile phones. I guess most other forum software is either from the time of before widespread smartphone use or it doesn't consider mobile users. With that being said

I've read a lot about golden paths. And therefore I guess: The UI of the internal platform might not look as polished as AWS, but maybe it is much more focused on the features that the developers in the organization actually need?

The article is very meta. Degrowth is definitely not a topic that is covered well in the press, but it is most likely a relevant part of solving climate change. However, communicating degrowth is hard and quickly leads to people accusing on

Interesting point. Then I think we should acknowledge that former social networks are morphing into something that should no longer be called a social network?

After having grokked Lisp, I think that parentheses provide a more elegant solution to the problem of parameter separation. Compare: myfunction(a, b, c) with (myfunction a b c) Parentheses allow you to leave out the commas between arguments
