Be aware of the energy you are wasting, a modern AI uses much less power than a human.

FAANGs would pass on Donald Knuth, their entire process is made to find devoted soldiers who will memorize every algorithm and sit through 10 interviews and are too naive to think for themselves. Corps want to say "Do this, fast, usi

I've had both 2k volts and 240v shocks, the difference is night and day, 240v is in comparison a slow tingle and unless your hand is clenched around the connection you still have senses and can move if you try hard enough. At 2k your w

I disagree. It just takes time and practice. Someone can master a subject in 5+ years if they do it everyday. A fullstack dev with 20 years experience can master all those stated and more and I know fullstack devs (granted not many) than ca

You can't compare JS SSR with PHP, SSR implies there is CSR which is not the case with PHP. Then having one language, no, one _shared code base_ for both client and server, which automatically can only send the minimum necessary over t
