> we abstract literally every language in common use today for the sake of DX

The fact that the Javascript ecosystem is not any different than the others is a huge missed opportunity.


> I've always struggled to enjoy anything that doesn't involve other people in some way

Well... play in band/orchestra ? You get to meet people, interact with them, build with them, etc.

I've been making music solo using various machines and computers all my life and I love it, but it's probably not for everyone. Yes, you're alone. Yes, (almost) nobody cares, so if you can't enjoy the process there is no point really.

() from time to time someone will show some interest but let's face it: there's just too much good music released everyday, competing with other distractions for the attention of the people.

For people like me, AI doesn't change much, it's another tool. We've been abusing technology in music for decades.

> Wordpress is the reliable dude who looks boringly normal, but on the other hand never gets you into trouble.

Sorry, but... what ? I could literaly start a business called "Wordpress Rescue Team" and make a living with this if I wanted to get my hands this dirty. The number of times I had to clean the mistakes users do when given an admin panel...


> people talk as if caching isn't a thing

Maybe you'd be surprised by how little some "engineers" know about http cache headers.


> Please, could the bootlickers of the European Union stop downvoting every single criticism of it?

Hey, let's call this "forum control" :)


"for sure"

"curl -LsSf https://acme.tld/install.sh | sh" and "xattr -c" ?

Far from ideal and safe but it's still a very common pattern.
