Django while opinionated is very flexible too. unlike Rails.

that means you can mold it to fit your use case easily - don't like the ORM - you can plug SQLalchemy and use a different 'architecture'. + you can use multiple different databases if you think that's the right path. in Django there's no 'the rails way' - you choose your own path.

Django-admin by itself saves so much work specially If you're doing B2B stuff & you gotta onboard users.

I guess Django is not the best thing, but not the worst thing either. so a perfect middle ground.

some of these media outlets manipulate public opinion.

majority of the public can't differentiate between commerce & capitalism. nor socialism vs 'free markets'.

the non-gullible people know it's not just about this vs that - but ultimately who controls what. ideally you want a system where no individual player or a few players can tip the system.

the Chinese system is probably the closest to that - but then the CCP exists :( . a large player that can tip the scales. but for the rest of the businesses - it's dog eat dog - the better ones that survive are suited to serve the population while aligned to the goals of the population for a good part.

the solution is good but what tends to happen is webhook providers are not gonna work on such a solution - why - because it puts 'work' on them.

hell this is without the proposal for a new protocol - just a 'GET' stream or paginated one like the author said.

whereas with web hooks - a consumer has to do all the work - as the article above outlined.

yeah I agree - the talent behind inferno - is getting overshadowed by the use of 'llms'. when the talent has its own creative personality & flair

the levels of market manipulation happening right now due to state actors has never been seen before.

this in regards to oil prices, then currency.

however the wave will break the levee & the whole town will be underwater.

bingo. to give an analogy in terms of law firms - you can either be a partner who brings in new business or the associate who does the grunt work of reviewing/writing contracts.

guess one which is valuable ?

at big tech the numbers seem about right. at smaller firms - you've less admin, less meetings - so the coding part is higher.

mind you most of the stuff posted here is in regards to big tech - even though it's 'hacker' news.

there was some London company migrating Cobol to Rust - with 'a.i' assistance.

I don't remember their name, hopefully they stayed in business. since probably convincing financial firms that using Rust is better than Java is a mammoth task.

my take is apple should've hired or worked more with external partners in terms of handling swift.

1. the language had all the right hook points to replace python - but then it was closed off in the apple ecosystem for a while. then it was made to be complex as C++ as time went on. if Swift had remained as simple as Go - and Apple had made a push for swift to go beyond apps in their ecosystem the language for data/ml would be swift

2. in regards to swiftUI - almost the same point as 1. react native took over cz it was a simpler more open ecosystem. then eventually most people stopped bothering with native apps (they're used to track you) - web apps are equally good. hence for most people they use native apps for maps, banking.

soon enough most people will realize in that for software working in teams of 1-3 people is the best thing.

no reviewing 'a.i' code. talking to actual humans not 'a.i' jargons

one thing I can bet on - Windows will ship their own distro & that will be the end of official 'windows'.

all the other windows apps - will be either through a wine layer or migrated to web.

Japan is the sort of canary in the coal mine.

so yeah if the yen pops - then the u.s will too given all the 'a.i' shenanigans & the market manipulation with oil.

but I guess the US Treasurer is willing to manipulate the market till they can't.

author of the article is making a logical argument - in matters of human behavior. that never works.

author should've instead asked himself & the world - why people are drawn to tailwind. yeah technically it's inferior - but in terms of being optimized for how people do things - tailwind is superior.

everything about the current 'a.i' models - east vs west points the wastefulness of western labs - whether in terms of gpu clusters being ran, cost of inference.

the only way is down for the massive valuations and 'a.i' revenue projections.

I will take the Swiss form of governance over any country's or model though.

a lot of tragic things keep happening to the ruby ecosystem.

the language has improved in the recent additions - ractors, it's faster now & always a pleasure to write.

however the ruby ecosystem has a tendency to deny reality - ruby is falling down rankings - people deny that's false but everything points to that.

the ecosystem is not willing to move away from rails. & DHHs antics don't help either.

bribery until recently was legal in Switzerland.

Infantino & Trump are just corrupt. Neck to neck with officials in African governments.

Infantino & Trump's corruption is literally driven by greed. not the good greed - but just bad, power hungry insatiable greed.

that's what a lot of 'a.i' companies miss - unless you've formerly QA devs deployed as Forward Automation Engineers - writing scripts to automate most tasks done by humans in a service economy - by the time the a.i bubble busts it will all about the promise about a.i to transform the economy while it was near achieved.

browser automation, RPA etc can bring us closer to agentic workflows since most software doesn't provide an API.

whole thing about RESTful api - majority of people never understood it - few people like the htmx crowd tried to bring it up again to teach people the right way.

but people who didn't understand rest some of them migrated to graphql or rpc.

though - I'm not as successful as Zach, but damn cold emails & cold phone calls have helped me a ton.

Thanks to the strangers that helped me out while not owing me anything.

it's the same reason - I try respond to every cold email.

thank you for this - needed it.

good thing - these articles keep getting shared so often.

yeah people's attention might be shot. but it's still a blessing to those who read it the first time, and the ones that re-read it.

the unfortunate thing in the 'llm' era - we seem hell bent on destroying the foundations of knowledge.

> - You have limited options for dealing with schema migrations.

That's the biggest pain of dealign with SQLite.

actually per UBS [0]: Median Wealth in the US is $68K. Almost neck in neck with median income.

[0]: https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-2026...

pretty dope product - but who are these things made for ?

if most companies are forcing people to attend meetings in person - are people recording in-person meetings ?

averages strike again.

Median wealth in the U.S just around $100k - see Wikipedia & other databases.

how many people own houses ? & for those people that own houses - average equity in those houses is less than 45%.

ain't no factoid - but lived reality of most people. maybe on the coasts where techies and finance bros live - but the rest of america is facing a bleak financial reality.

you overestimate the financial health of most Americans.

most people live on credit cards as bridge finance between paychecks. when I mean most people - I mean 50% of the population.

unfortunately a lot of people never read history to understand how certain things in the modern world came to be.

if you've a chance read a bit on sharecropping, the feudal system.

then you will see a good population of people are willingly getting into serfdom.
