- Who cares about being a staff at FAANG lmao when he gets to do what he does currently?
- I really wanted to give them a try actually, now I definitely won’t.
- Wow, would be interested to read more about this, could you submit the email maybe as its own post? Even as a text version, I actually love the PragProg, would hate to seem them gone (but I guess it’s a foregone conclusion).
- You are talking about misleading type hints, not optional ones. Optional means they don’t have to be added. Wrong typehints are so much worse than missing ones.
- I wanted to disagree then checked the release date. It’s August of 2026. Really early to be discussing this.
- > Things I don't understand must be great?
Couple it with the tendency to please the user by all means and it ends up lieing to you but you won’t ever realise, unless you double check.
- The OS's native rendering engine, there's no embedded browser. Here's a more detailed writeup https://wails.io/docs/howdoesitwork
- 8 individual democrats, the exact number needed for the vote to pass, all of whom are either out the door or safe from reelection in 2026. Quite the coincidence.
- The fact that all 8 are either retiring or not facing reelection in 2026 means that this was probably orchestrated by the minority leadership.
It’s exactly 8 senators, safe seats, no comments from Schumer. There is no coup.
- He demonstrates this in the video as well. Powder/tablet from the same company performed differently, the powder seems to be deliberately underpowered.
- Thanks, it is now unflagged.
- It’s not a clickbait title, it succintly sums how the author percieves the dominant feeling of these people
> Silverman: I think it’s [the anger] pretty palpable. That’s one reason why I call it a “gilded rage,” it’s that you hear it from them. We do hear from these people directly on social media and these long interviews they give on podcasts—some of them have their own podcasts—or speeches they give publicly. They’re all content creators now.
> The emotion that often comes through is this sort of wounded anger, they feel victimized. Some of it is a bit in the style of classic right wing victimology, but it’s also, “the people don’t appreciate them enough and the world they’re trying to make,” whether it’s tech critics or regulators. But I think also they share a lot of the anti-woke grievances of the last few years, Musk very explicitly in his transphobia. The sense that progressive politics has somehow gone too far and has made everyone else’s lives oppressive and miserable seems to be an idea they share, despite all their wealth and power and the fact that I don’t think those left wing ideas had a major effect on tech. But, in some cases, I think it’s also personal. You hear someone like Bill Ackman say that, “Harvard turned his daughter into a Marxist,” or Elon Musk has talked a lot about his child coming out as trans. He said, “the woke mind virus killed my son.” That’s how he came up with this idea of “the woke mind virus”. He seems very angry about that.
- It’s so perfectly legal that other nation states can do it for you and you might end up with a winner that people didn’t even hear about before.

- He did the Nazi salute twice on stage. He shared anti-semitic propaganda on X, unbanned known nazis, openly campaigned for AfD, a party that has actual Nazis in its ranks, renamed his AI chatbot Mecha Hitler. The list goes on.
He is very much a Nazi sympathizer just like Ford was.
- I’ve been writing Ruby profesionally for over a decade and while the writing has been on the wall for almost the entire time, it’s more certain than ever that Ruby is on its last legs.
Big legacy companies who have invested heavily into Ruby cannot switch but every shop I’ve been at often started new services in non-Ruby (mostly Go but have seen plenty of Node/TS as well or Rust for that matter).
If I were to start a new app Ruby would be far from my first choice and the biggest reason are types. After being in the weeds of big Rails apps while also working with Go/Ts/typed Python, Ruby seems very fragile in big codebases. Sorbet is also not enough.
- > Rails Hotwire really caught my attention, especially because of how fast you can build an MVP with Rails. But I still needed background jobs, real-time updates, and two-way communication that just works. Those things are possible in Rails and Laravel, but they take a bit more effort to set up.
All of this is built into Rails tho.
That’s why I didn’t like this article, feel free to pick whatever you want and explain the benefits, but if you do comparisions at least try to come accross as well informed. But it sounds like you haven’t started a Rails project in years
- Exactly, this is all blogspam at this point. Ignores all the features available in Rails so he can pick Elixir/Phoenix the “winner”.
Really rough around the edges, lots of stubs have to be added because support for gems is lackluster but whatever Sorbet generates are hit or miss etc. So you end up writing a lot of hard to understand annotations and/or people get frustrated and try to skip them etc.
Overall a very bad DX, compared to even typed Python. Don’t even want to compare it to TS because then it becomes really unfair.
