It's always been a non-issue for me. However, when I do want to explore a new stack I generally go as a consultant or in a small startup i.e. not-well-funded. I'm more than willing to pay the price in wage for a few shorter-term engagements.
Ever since I'm a data analyst, I found that career happiness is more important than wages depending where someone is on the career happiness track. Software engineering is just a bit too much for me. Where I work now as a data a data analyst, keeps me sane. It's the diversity and variety of tasks that I like.
Rails is pretty amazing to get started. Rails is definitely the gold standard when it comes to Get Shit Done fast. I think the Active Record model can lead to some technical debt down the road, but for getting started nothing is faster from a dev perspective.
All that being said these days I'd start with Elixir/Phoenix.
From my experience supporting Rails app longer than a month becoming more complex due to a lot of meta-magic (method_missing and friends, abused by rails itself). Elixir/Phoenix feels exactly like Rails with these issues fixed. Longest living production app is ~8 years now, doesn't feel like legacy at all. Upgrades are easy. Easy to figure out what's exactly happening right there.
Also, resource consumption/optimization. I noticed i need to do something about it on first week of development, which is sad (and spends dev time on non-relevant stuff). Phoenix designed to avoid it (including stupid stuff like N+1 problem)
Lots of other countries other than the US banned this dye years ago. So what changed in the US? Logically speaking we didn't just come to our collective senses. Did government lobbying budgets dry up? Or did the cost just increase where it wasn't worth paying anymore?
It's because it's not a race track. Race tracks are designed with safety in mind. Large areas on the outside of curves, gravel runouts, and padding on all fences.
The TT is a street track with rock walls, telephone poles and stop signs. Those things don't exist on race tracks for a reason. You're going to have a bad time hitting a rock wall at 180 mph.
Ridiculous. Life is not about getting the most money. You can’t eat money, doesn’t matter how much you have. Someone, somewhere has to do work that makes less money for some other gain so that you can eat what you do.
By that standard if survival means that we have to return to child sacrifice or something else so heinous then I guess engaging in anything but is also privileged.
These people are pursuing the survival of their souls. If you lose that, you cannot regain it. And time is not an athlete’s friend. You can always make money. It’s not going anywhere.
You clearly come from a country without a social safety net. Most people never make it to the olympics much less professional sports. So all the people who don't make it die? No they transition into other industries.Trying and failing is much better than never trying at all. Long live the dreamers and artists.
Exactly this, the landing page seem much more about the reference implementation than the actual protocol. I will say the docs at https://mercure.rocks/spec are nice.
Lawmakers are generally beholden to their lobbyists i.e. the people who give them money. They don't care about anyone's safety, health or well-being. They do however, care a great deal about corporate profits.
That's the system we've built, and it's a very good one if you're a corporation.
