This my exact setup and the only thing I’m missing is Blazor-style component syntax instead of the fairly convoluted way with <vc:*>

I was really excited for Blazor, until I tried developing for it. The DX is not really there yet and in the mean time I stumbled up HTMX (https://htmx.org/) and now I'm having an even harder time being excited for Blazor. And don't get me started on Blazor Server vs Blazor WASM...

The thing is, Blazor will become the lingua franca of (web) UI development for bigcorps, so I just need to suck it up and learn it (I'm a .NET consultant geared towards finance & insurance)

Lmao, that sounds like something straight out of Futurama.

The Wikipedia article you liked says it “economically unviable”, but fails to provide a source

Including heating/gas?

> To be a one person contractor you need to accept you will not have job security.

On the contrary, I’d say you have _more_ job security since you tend to switch assignments often.

Old constructions are diffusion open, meaning moisture can move freely in and out of it. New constructions are diffusion closed, meaning you have a steam barrier on the inside which blocks the moist indoors air from traveling into the walls. This however requires an airtight house and mechanical ventilation.

Absolutely, and the thing about old houses is that they've evolved to keep moisture and ventilation in check without access to modern tech. Modern tech, as you point out, usually makes things worse.

My house in Sweden is from the 1950's and I still had to be _very_ mindful when adding insulation. The best thing I've found is cellulose-based insulation, basically shredded newspapers lined with salts and pressed to sheets. The can buffer a lot of moisture without developing mold.

> How many extinction events have there been that just wiped out the vast majority of species far before humans even existed?

Those weren’t caused by the species themselves though

The actual insulation is stupid cheap when you look at the ROI. However, installing in on an existing house is really tricky and you can cause a lot of moisture related damage if you do it in the wrong way.

It’s not a popular opinion around here, but the reason I like my iPhone is _because_ it’s a walled garden. It just works, reliably, without surprises, for years on end.

In banking and bookkeeping, there’s no such thing as a “delete”. Once something is in the ledger you can’t undo it - you have to make a new entry that negates the old one.

Re: Rick Beato, I agree. Especially his “lessons”.

Check out Pat Finnerty, he does a series called “Why does this songs stink” and he really has an axe to grind with Beato: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hQWfMI4CVFI

Are you suggesting they’re going out of business?

I don’t think I’ve even seen an AM station as long as I’ve been listening to radio (since the early 90s)

A series of tubes, you say?

Tesla dropped the ball going from niche bespoke vehicles to mass production. Big “senior engineer from Chernobyl” as they disregarded a lot of common automotive knowledge and opted for consumer grade components.

The Tesla stock price is based off of the cult-of-personality followers of the CEO and his promises that FSD, Cybertruck and Tesla Semi are _just around the corner_

For humans, it’s right there in the name /s

Not sure if you’re presenting not being able to work your employee to the bone as something positive or something negative :)

> In Europe, it's much difficult to start a company and people aren't of typical mindset to jump start a company into global dominance.

This is such a tired meme. It’s _orders of magnitude_ easier to start at company in a lot of European countries compared to the US.

Creation process is in a lot of cases filling in a web form, paying €100 and waiting a week or two (yes, yes, in know it not like that everywhere).

Furthermore, your health care is not tied to your employer which makes starting a company a lot less risky.

Is it easier to start a company poised for world dominance? No idea, but I do know it’s easier to start a small, sustainable business.

Banks in Sweden are making a big effort of recruiting, training and offering a viable career path for COBOL developers. A bunch of central systems still run like clockwork on IBM mainframes, why replace them?

Not targeted at the OP, but I’ve noticed that (despite being one of the best paid group) tech folk can have _incredibly_ tight purse strings, probably stemming from the “I can make it myself” mentality.

See for example the outrage when LastPass announced they’d start charging a few dollars a month.

I work under the assumption that anything in the downloads folder is up for deletion at any point in time. I periodically just delete everything in there without so much as a glance

I have really finicky feet and cried tears of joy when I found ASICS GT-4000 only to cry tears of sorrow when I wanted to buy a new pair and found out they only made one run of them.

It’s amusing to see a whole generation of senior developers (“senior” as in 5+ years of experience) that haven’t experienced web development without React[0] and who proceed to reinvent PHP/ASP.NET/RoR.

[0] Used here as shorthand for “modern js driven development”

That’s uh, pretty terrible? My 15+ year old Nibe gets as much

> Here's an experiment. At your place of work, circulate a document criticizing leadership and how they're all wrong. Make sure to publicize this loudly to people outside the organization. See what happens. What should the appropriate response be?

At most places, leadership actually… leads. Musk is a token publicity figure at best at this point, a mascot.
