I'm a hard no on this. I work in education, where everything went from in-person to online in the course of a few weeks and everyone (expectedly) hated it. synchronous online destroyed the previous advantage of online (asynchronous) and hasn't found a way to provide any benefit over synchronous in-person.

there is a clear opportunity for better video experience online but I expect that 2021 will be the year that everyone runs screaming for the classroom and office.

I have a few:

- v3 that runs RetroPie - v2 for PiHole - a zero W with a vibration sensor that I use to text me when my washer is done (turned off the washer's alarm so as not to wake sleeping kids)

was surprised to see java as the #3 technology behind iOS and android, but this explains it.

I can't help but feel bad for folks who are coming to front-end dev now. with such a massive (and rapidly changing) list of "you should learn..." subjects, I think the biggest challenge is keeping focus on the most fundamental things.

I've interviewed so many junior and mid-level candidates who will opine at length about react vs. angular or why redux is the one true way to manage state, but who don't know about `setTimeout` or other fundamental language features. that kind of spotty, "just throw it together" knowledge may be enough to land a job somewhere, but it certainly isn't enough to solve anything beyond factory-floor, Lego-like app delivery.

I wish I knew the solution, because the problem only seems to be getting worse despite my thinking that "peak framework" is just around the corner in the js community.

I've used Cask for a few months now and it's been great as promised. Developers are responsive and accepted my formula additions quickly.

So glad to see it on HN; can't recommend it enough.
