Yea, you're probably right. I meant more stylistically, in that python lets you export functions from files, and it's style of OOP feels way more basic and bolted on than ruby, which gives you lots of different ways to do OOP and

The original wired piece is effectively a lot of words that swirl around one poorly argued point: ruby is falling behind because of it's lack of static typing support. "Seriousness" is an ironically unserious way to evaluate,

I hate to break this to you, but typescript ain't type-safe. There's a lot I like about typescript, but your runtime is still node, so any "type-safety" is mostly illusory. Not to mention every typescript codebase I&#x27

I'd focus on the back part. Why was programming joyful then ? Why is it not now? Maybe it's the environment? The language? The community? I think certain people's brains work better with different languages. Often there&#x

Honest question: how? Their event pricing would require you to log something on the order of tens of millions of events to get at a 10k monthly bill. If you were turning it on in a high-volume environment, how did you unexpectedly run up a

If CEOs were as replaceable and disconnected from the outcome of a business as the author suggests, boards would've started doing this long ago and CEO salaries would come down as a result (lots of people want to be CEOs, and by this a

The fact that other countries have defaulted and the US never has is one of the key reasons why US govt bonds are considered "riskless", and contributes hugely to reserve currency status. Which is to say, market actors use it for
