yes in Brazil
pedroigor91··on Moving off of TypeScript, 2.5M lines of code
I still don’t understand why more startups don’t adopt .NET. It’s such a powerful technology. ASP.NET has some of the best performance benchmarks out there, C# is a rich and expressive language, and the ecosystem along with the standard libraries are stable and mature. You rarely run into the kind of headaches you often see with more “trendy” stacks.

In many cases, the bias comes down to perception — .NET is seen as “enterprise” or “legacy,” while in reality it’s open-source, cross-platform, and very well-supported by Microsoft and the community. For a startup that needs stability and performance without reinventing the wheel, .NET can be a huge win.

pedroigor91··on Gukesh becomes the youngest chess world champion in history
One of the worst-played matches in the history of the world championships. Both players made huge mistakes, decisive mistakes in previous matches, and a decisive mistake in this last one. What happened to Ding? Ten years ago he was playing great chess, which was a pleasure to watch. Gukesh was playing a nervous game, making mistakes by players much lower than his rating. At times it seemed like two Fide Masters playing. Terrible. Carlsen did well to give up the title, because any of the challengers for the title today would be no match for him.
