This is just clickbait. Yeah there is brain rot on there, and what he was presented with is questionable, but he hadn't used it in 8 years. If he started using it, he would see more of what he's interested in. It's not a mind reader.

Regulation is freedom? Peace is war, too, I guess.

Banning ads? That's just so authoritarian and absurd. I hope you never become king

It's really not. It takes many generations to assimilate. You cannot just invite a huge influx of people and not expect a major cultural shift.

That's no longer immigration; that's an invasion. You can't just let unfettered immigration into a country because that would drain resources and have a negative cultural impact. Yes, people in a country pay taxes and as such should enjoy protections against invaders.

Are we getting income tax breaks then?

You act as if they don't have loopholes for this or that there will be consequences when the military industrial complex is behind things. Were there any consequences for Iraq WMD BS

Developers reach for Toasts because they're zero effort. Good user experience takes a lot of thought and you can skip all that with Toasts haha.

Aren't we more mature than this? Granted, it's the first thing I thought of as well

I'm going to make the case that it's actually the opposite. Rails might seem simpler out of the box, but this is all surface level. Rails is massive and extremely complex, especially its ORM, which encourages really bad database practices in my experience. And it doesn't have strong typing.

If you went head-to-head with Rails on a slightly complex project with say shadcn/ui, Convex DB, and TanStack Start, I guarantee you, the TypeScript app will be much simpler and give you more power than Rails, especially when building the UI. And to top it off, you will have strong typing everywhere -- from the DB schema to the URL routes.

And bonus, deployment is simple. ConvexDB already takes care of the backend and the frontend could be deployed to something like Cloudflare Pages.

While these technologies are interesting, React has built a moat with its component ecosystem. It doesn't matter how intuitive or simple your new frontend solution is when I can `bunx add` a component from shadcn/ui and be instantly productive. Not to mention most companies with frontend integrations are shipping their own React components. You get composability and familiarity.

And while there are decent component libraries in plain JS, the top talent is building in React.

I love the how he simulates the hamburger menu with a page navigation. It just feels so wholesome in a sea of complex JS frameworks

Working in smaller steps is how you should build software. Constantly get feedback and re-evaluate what you're working on with other members of the team. Instead of giving an estimate, use t-shirt size.

With constant feedback, the whole team is participating in the emergent complexity, instead of being passive and just annoying you with "is it done yet"?

Why was it deleted?

What does that have to do with present day? You're comparing two different times and circumstances

General feeling. At night I could definitely feel it going to sleep, and it went away after decreasing the dose. It could be a coincidence, but regardless of my personal experience, there's actual science behind it. Too much o3 can affect the blood vessels.

Have they made any mice immortal yet (with continuous treatments of stem cells and other therapies)?

You have to be careful with such high doses over a long period of time. It can cause heart arrhythmia.

There are conflicting studies, but recently, it was determined you need adequate vitamin B levels to support omega-3.

As an aside, you can definitely over-dose on omega-3 which can cause afib, and increase your chance of stroke. I was taking 2 grams per day and definitely had arrhythmia issues. Decreasing the dosage to 500mg per day eliminated the arrhythmia.

Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, Ghostbusters, Office Space, Step Brothers, Idiocracy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I find comedies the most re-watchable)

Sounds pretty reductive and dismissive. Have you actually used LiveView and compared the DX? I've used a a few of the technologies you listed, and LiveView is a different animal.

That is completely corrupt. The government is picking winners and losers. What about sub shops that bake their own rolls?

I have my phone set to Dot Not Disturb except for explicit contacts

I thought people's behavior these days was to ignore calls from numbers they don't know and let the phone screen it. I don't ever have problems with unknown numbers or SPAM calls on my Pixel

I've had similar experiences. One recruiter within the company said they had an offer ready for me and then asked about my React experience at the last second. I was completely honest that I was still getting up to speed on React but had used similar frameworks and done front-end since the late 90s. I got ghosted.

I didn't need a livable wage as a teenager. It was a way to get extra spending cash/job experience. Granted, wages definitely haven't kept up, so I agree in part.

It's sad that people need these menial jobs--which will probably be automated at some point--to survive, instead of being able to pursue something more meaningful.

I'm not sure how people eat there anymore, even as a guilty pleasure. The ingredients got worse (cheaper ingredients, no whole milk mozz) and the dough, from what I understand, is shipped frozen, not made in store.

Even in the 90s their pizza sent me running to the bathroom it had so much oil in it.

Interesting. I thought government was there to serve the people not to be an adversary. No wonder our tax code is so convoluted.

You can leverage debt as an individual as well. We often shame people for bankruptcies when we shouldn't. Businesses fail all the time and go bankrupt -- running a household is similar and can fail.

But imagine if they were. Wars and other destructive behaviors would be a lot more difficult
