Its the amount of money, willingness to invest at all and in what to invest.
Sometimes the investors want to be like Silicon Valley investors but yeah its like with the success stories they have read about it but not experienced it.

Sometimes the investors want to be like Silicon Valley investors but yeah its like with the success stories they have read about it but not experienced it.
Also most companies I have seen and worked with are doing OKR as a to-do list for the management to check what people are doing.
One person has done something good or bad. Then all people who are in that specific group must be like this. Think of Politicians. One does something bad they are all bad. One bicycle driver is riding like crazy so lets ban all of them. I had some bad Asian food so Asian food in general must be bad. Country X had a shooting once so it must be a unsafe country.
You can find examples like that everywhere.
It makes sense that we also have that bias when it comes to success stories.
Plus with the social media culture of "Do thing X" and you will be successful.
I see that all around: Write a paper journal and you will be successful. Wake up early and you will be successful. Read a bazillion books a year and you will be successful. Read my book and you will be successful. Listen to that podcast and you will be successful. Start a shitty idea startup and sell it after X years and you will be successful.
In the end success is not only hard work. Its not only doing thing X. It has so many variables and random points that we can't just replicate someones success story.
Just think about it for a second. As a European reading about US success stories. How much does it help? The (business) culture is totally different. Yes the internet makes it kind of easier but still its just not the same.
Also whats different is that you are not starting at the same time, location, community, knowledge and luck/random level.
So yeah its fun to read these success stories but they should not be your guide of how to become successful yourself.
Which are all important points.
And again Telegram is breaking german/eu law and they are ignoring it even if they get a letter.
Its not about "querdenker" putting there bullshit on and promoting there products.
It's about the far right and people are getting more aggressive every day and writing death threats and leaking addresses and a lot of nasty shit.
It's not about selling your homeopathic sugar pills. It's not about stupid people spreading fake news. It's about people calling other people to kill other people.
If you dont recognize this then your a
Oh wait I know you yourself know nothing about this situation.
Oh wait you yourself never got death threats to your personal mail and home?
Oh wait its not like the article is saying that closing it would be the last resort...
They are like the games in the 90s or 00s.
So yeah we have this market its just not were these AAA companies play.
Some cool indies: - Shovel Knight - Hades - Deep Rock Galactic - papers please! - unnamed goose game - Probably more which I forgot
Even here in Europe. If I ask my current boss that I want like a raise of 1/3 of my salary he laughs but when I leave to a new company I laugh.
I worked in Germany, Lithuania and Norway.
Basically you are forced to change your job if you are a good developer and want to get more money.
And for me a lot of gaming studios which I loved in the 90's and 00's have lost all the glory. Just look at Blizzard, EA and Ubisoft.
It really worth looking at the history of EA and why it even exists.
Here in Germany if you can code "hello world". You will get a job.
Also all of my peers and friends around Europe are still working in the industry.
So I'm just wondering.
Can you point to any source? Is this maybe something that happens in the US?
I lived in Hamburg for almost 30 years, but the city was never dirtier than it is right now.
good luck with the funding!
If you work on bigger projects you will run into many problems really soon. Like some Safari strangeness when it comes to CSS. Someone using some old browser which you as a developer would never use but your user base still uses it and it makes 12 % of the revenue.
Even if every big platform has some magic pixi dust ai that knows every nft in the world and checks against it.
What about illegal streaming websites? or any other type of content.
These heavy plugins are usually for old browsers to also run in them. That is the only job ob babel.
CJS has some deeper problems. - Check if your fav CJS lib freezes the objects? - ESM is more http friendly (mime type)
Working on large projects and having everything first loaded and then you can load it in the browser is a waste of time that every web developer has every day.
Some real world times FOR DEVELOPMENT: Storybook first load: 90 sec, Storybook after first load changes: 3 sec, Vue App first load: 63 sec, Vue app change after that: 5 sec, Vue App with Vite first load: 1sec, Vue App with Vite after that: the time it takes me to press command+tab to switch to the browser
Do we really have people that use unminfied unbundled esm in production? If Yes, please comment why?
I would also ask the author what about cyclic dependencies? ES Modules resolve them automatically. Something which in large code bases can happen.
Why do we still put it through babel? Because most of us don't have the luxury of not supporting old browser... https://caniuse.com/?search=modules Even if the not supported browsers for our company is 1% it is still a big chunk of money in the end.
and this example: ``` app.use("/users", require("./routers/users")); ```
Really? this is "good code" having a require in the middle of a file?
Also funny: The author is annoyed that rollup did not support tree shaking in commonjs and then complains that people are wasting time on esm. Maybe the rollup team does not want to waste time on commonjs? Also then he points to a package which did not got any update in 3 years and would make the hole process he complains is to complex even more complex by introducing a new dependencies.
Sorry but the more I read that thing the more it sounds to me like a Junior Dev that does not want to learn new things and just likes to rant about things.
We have several countries with higher rates https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
Also in Germany for example 90% of the covid people in hospitals are fully unvaccinated people.
Somethings I would like to have:
- The "editor" windows should be bigger
- Remove the left side
- Let me choose the language
- Give an option for a blind test. Basically don't let me see the font name.
- Option to give me only fonts with Ligatures.
Sending messages to a known (small) number of people is a solved problem for a long time. Email for example.
With WhatsApp, it is even easier than email because WhatsApp is a closed system, and you can optimize.
They used an uncommon setup? Okay cool. How does this help me? or any other company?
I'm not sure what I should learn from this story?
The only thing is: Feature creep is bad.

It feels like it just starts.
Because development teams are growing and you have the experience you will start to code less and less. You will be in more meetings and do other stuff like interviews and so on. At least this is what I experience.
In general I see 2 kinds of older developers: - 1. The one that goes into more management - 2. The kind of developer that stopped learning 10 years ago.
A professor asked me once: "So you want to become an engineer? You know that this means that you will need to learn all your live?"
He was right. You need to learn. Do you need to know the newest bleeding edge frameworks? No but you need to learn something. Basically it is not enough to just finish your school/university and that's it.
Sorry, I find your assertion as a sign of depression and helplessness
I can tell you from experience, it is different if it is your own child.
Birthrates in the US are going down from 25.000 per 100.000 to 10.000 per 100.000.
Pretty much life as it always was... Sounds to more like people are stuck in a comfort zone Or in a TV world of the 80s/90s with sitcoms like full house.
