BUT, and this is important, there is a big clear "Reject all" button.
My problem with cookie banners isn't their mere existence, but that the scum if the earth make it almost impossible to reject data collection.

I can just as simply say that atheism is based on ego worship, narcissism, and hyper-individuality.
That is to say, you dressing your conclusion as an axiom. We're better off without atheistic delusions.
Nah that's just what atheists convince themselves. There's nothing obviously nor truthful about this conclusion or the line of reasoning behind it.
All arguments for and against the existence of God are inherently unfalsifiable, but that doesn't mean atheism is inherently more logical than theism.
In fact, from my point of view, the existence of God is way more logically sound than the alternative, and atheists are the ones following delusions and worshipping their own egos
Everyone now uses intelligence to mean whateva ChatGPT can do, but all those language models combined don't even show 1/10th of my Cat's intelligence.
Come to think of it, this might be a good way for software unions to get a hold in the US. The Union will have a process to validate the competency if its members, and validate their careers, meanwhile hiring managers who are looking for guaranteed engineering quality will be able to find them, and unemployed engineers will be able to find work quickly, only bye the may benefit from the power of collective bargaining.
Kinda like a recruiting agency, but without for-profit motives and the shareholders will be the union members.
I don't see any downsides, except dkr the usual "corrupt men on top" problem which plagues any hunan organization, though mandating that leaders have extencive industry experience could slightly mitigate that.
WezTerm shines in ease and breadth of configurability due to using lua, so it's simple to have the theme change between light/dark depending on host OS theme.
I abbreviated it a bit due to HN title lenth limit.

In this era "High quality" is an increasingly rarer exception. This industry is stuck in the "rush to market' phase even for decade+ projects.
The industry is so young it's still filled with pretenders below-mediocre developers. The fact you're thinking about quality and learning probably puts you on the top 10% of developers in the entire World.
Bad coders leave managers with wrong expectations and saddle us with their smoldering piles of garbage and now we have to convince Mr. Manager why we it's impossible to match Mr. Monkey's pace.
We are literally stuck paying off someone else's debt, and it's soul crushing, because you know Mr. Manager won't understand anything technical, and the true culprit, Mr. Code Monkey is already long gone, and we are the sucker holding the bag, getting blamed for late features and slow delivery.
The life lesson I learned is: don't pickup someone else's code, you'll assume all liability.
I don't know a lick of Chinese or especially Korean, but I know my fair share of japanese words thanks to exposure to Japanese media i.e. Anime.
Anime is pretty popular in the west, especially amongst the demographic that's more likely to build software in their free time.
TL: Yami means Dark/Darkness

Contrast that to the overglorified code monkeying that is present-day software development... You got react monkeys hard-coding every single width and height for every button and div in a webapp... And they get paid for it... And then someone like me will have to clean up this shit and explain to the client why the billion features he wants won't be ready in 3 months.....
Then you have AWS monkeys coding everything in lambas and amplify, instead of "if conditions" you got "Step functions" and instead of a function you got a lamda, and instead of async/await you got SQS queues and shit.

As a result, legit Engineers/excellent developers resumes get swallowed up in the raging ocean of noise, and a ton of those noise-resumes aren't distinguishable from legit-resumes due to resume generators being dime a dozen.
This describes the project I'm working on at $job with eerie accuracy :sob:
Dare I ask, was that project written in Java?
Smartphones these days aren't tools that promote creativity and curiosity; they are passive consumption devices. They promote brain-rot and short attention spans, extremely hostile to curiosity and tinkering, promote walled-gardens and siloed ecosystems as they are designed to funnel you unto the specific add-ridden attention strip-mining facilities they call "Social Media" ala facebook, instagram, tiktok, and all that crap.
I would feel more at ease sendingy kids to a red light district.
I think this is an unhealthy world view. I've certainly learned thus after years of therapy. Others derive self-worth from self-validation.
We'll never be fast at math as calculators, yet their exist people who enjoy doing head-math. Doing a jigsaw puzzle has no inherent worth, yet people love doing so. Those people exist so it's a good idea to try to understand their perspective.
Not everyone's idea of fun is "Creating value for others"
Guns are great for hunting, but people still learn archery, because it's fun to shoot an arrow.
Another aspect is human connection: I would prefer eating an average meal made by someone close, rather than an amazing meal made by machine. Machines can't add the special ingredient of love :)
I would love to learn blacksmithing, for the sole reason that forging a sword from an iron/steel ingot is so fucking metal and awesome.
Cars produce toxic fumes, air pollution, noise pollution with their engine noises and horns, light pollution with their headlights pointed directly into my fucking eye, consume incredible amounts of resources to function, consume a fuckton of resources for road maintainability waste millions of man-hours in soul-crushing traffic jams, all that for them to be slower than me on my fucking bike inside the city.
Yeah the horse and buggy manufacturers were right, cars were a mistake. We just doubled down on that mistake.
Bundling is also something that we no longer need to do since the introduction of HTTP2. I would even consider it an anti-pattern these days, since it means you're sending the client much more data than they actually need.
Tree shaking is definitely very important for something like tailwind though.
