It shocks me to see how many programmers think such framework decisions are one-size-fits-all and jump to conclusion that such framework adoption decisions are is due to lack of skillset and experience.

There are many factors at play. You have time to build and maintain your own utility framework, please go ahead.

Two years ago, I led a team which developed a web app that generated 600 million impressions per year. We used Tailwind because we were a small team and I’d rather have my developers work on high value tasks and not maintain a style framework.

If you are an aspiring developer, know this: There are always trade-offs. Not writing pure CSS does not make you a bad developer. Not knowing system design does.

I am not surprised. Roots is an incredibly tasteful album. They ventured beyond groove metal.

Actually, there is a fantastic studio performance of Roots from back when. You might like it!

This is awesome. I have been downloading everything manually on Soulseek since the dawn of time. Now I can effortlessly have a local copy of my entire saved music library. Thanks!

I actually worked for two of them at once. It’s quite a cult mentality. You even get swag if you make it to list, such as a tote bag which says “I made it to Forbes 30U30” with big bold letters.

They all follow more or less the same routine: wake up very early, do a million niche sports and share their “unique” experiences on LinkedIn, such as that one night in the woods which took their career to the next level.

They appear busy while getting nothing meaningful done, hire bunch of consultants for making decisions, and delegate even the smallest executable to someone else because “their time is more valuable”.

The difference between them and you is that they are really good at grifting, networking, selling their failures and shortcomings as a success story.

I have yet to meet one that truly made a difference: The entrepreneurial hero who made a tangible difference by getting their hands dirty and creating value for the greater good. Until then, I will keep believing in the stereotypes.

You need a developer license to distribute an app on Apple’s App Store. It costs 99 USD per year.

Platform choice is determined by your target audience and your goals. I previously developed for both iOS and Android. Without mass adoption, Linux mobile apps would not be economically feasible.

My position is different as a hobbyist but I do not have a use case for a Linux mobile app at the moment.

They broke my fucking balls for trivial reasons during approval process. However, it seems like you get a free pass and a feature if you are the creator of a spyware with a trademarked name. Truly genius at work.

I am also curious. Got burnt once thanks to Docker acquisition. Wondering if it is the right time to consider Terraform alternatives.
