I work mostly with Django at my work. I still choose Lumen / Laravel for my personal projects. Both Django and Laravel are amazing but I'm still more effective with Laravel. It has way more functionality out of the box.

I wonder whether we'll ever get Assange to give an interview? Him on Joe Rogan would be amazing. Of course that will never happen.

Unions are absolutely detrimental to the society. Thank god we'll never have one for Software Engineers. Great short explanation from Milton Friedman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzYgiOC9cj4

Why should they? You're using a free (and honestly, amazing) service, and you agreed to the terms and conditions. Don't like it - don't use it.

I don't need to worry about many many trivial things I had to worry about before these tools, and now I can actually work on the problem I'm trying to solve almost immediately.

I completely agree. Docker, amazing frameworks (Laravel, Django, ReactJS etc.), git, CI, amazing IDEs, etc. It's absolutely magical compared to what we had 15 years ago. Entry level is much higher though for sure, you definitely need t

> Stop people from laying out the traps, and saying it is not really fine. Guess that means regulation and enforcement thereof. What kind of regulations would you impose? Any specifics?

How would you try to help an alcoholic? Would you tell him that it's alcohol producers' who is at fault? Or would you tell him to try and get help? Why would an advice be different for over-consumption of social media, coke, big m

What do you propose to solve this problem besides teaching others to take personal responsibility?

> These apps are absolutely addictive because they were explicitly and intentionally designed to be. Same goes with fast food, TV shows etc. It's your responsibility to not over-consume anything; and if you have children, teach them

> Prices shouldn't rise because more people can afford to buy something. Of course they should, and they would. It's really econ 101. More demand = higher prices. Why wouldn't it? If you were selling apples for $1/kg,

There are 209,128,094 people over 18 in US. Let's assume $1,000/month UBI. It would mean we need to get $209128094000 (~ $210B) a month ($2.5T a year) from somewhere. Where would we get it from? Are there any extensive papers expl
