$400,000,000,000 revenue, 2025. $650 million is a rounding error.

It's not that you can't "build a sane architecture" as much as it is difficult to justify the time spent to do this when you can "bang out features" in 10 minutes that would take days to do manually. It'

You are absolutely not alone, brother (or sister). In the past few years when a lot of the millennial generation started getting their first jobs, the shiny object syndrome took over and most everything being made now is a distributed monol

This! It absolutely boggles my mind that nothing else exists to fill this spot. Fly and others offer varying degrees of easier-than-AWS hosting, but nobody offers true PaaS like Heroku, IMHO.

It's honestly just an example of ego and coping. These people are trading temporary gains in pseudo-productivity for training their replacements and atrophying their skills. The truth of the matter is that the people who will choose to

I've had the misfortune of working in FastAPI a number of times, and, as somebody who has been using Django since 2008, Django developers have no idea how spoiled they are to have such a tremendous framework. Django does not provide ma

IMHO, the "new generation" of designers is the problem. Same goes for the "new generation" of developers. Want to make a basic HTML page with a contact form? Better get React + 300 dependencies, require the backend to pr

Yeah it's crazy, people use Django and they think the things that are making them productive are all these little contribs and built-ins, but the reality is it's the solid foundation that is the ORM. BTW, I discovered after writin

I agree, type annotations need work. I just use stubs and then I have some rules to set some of the more common ones to be warnings instead of errors, and then I just deal with the fact that there's gonna be some yellow squiggles.

I sometimes think that the direction web development took is like some kind of bad dream that we will wake up from. It's unbelievable to me. The problems we faced before SPAs were things like "great we've got two forms on the

I see a lot of people in here talking about the "batteries included" aspect of Django, as if that's where it really shines. those batteries are definitely helpful, but the biggest benefit, by far, is the absolute best ORM in

Putting your comment into simpler terms reveals the nature of your thinking: When you were doing good you were sure it was your fault, but when you were doing bad you were sure that it was not your fault. Do you see how that sounds?

I know from the inside it feels like nothing is wrong, but if you're looking at the EU as a whole from the outside, the economies there have been coming apart for many years. You could even say the wheels have already fallen off. 100%

This, 100%. So many of the basic features (e.g., automatic Python venv, Pyright running, etc.) have random bugs that pop up from time to time, making the basic editor unreliable. My fear is, if they keep going in this direction (adding bloa

One of the biggest beefs I have with AI in the workplace is that LLM coding does not discourage large piles of code, since the output is instantaneous. Instead of having to type out 1400 lines of gibberish, the LLM will do this for you in a

It's hard for nupeople to understand that people from our generations learned how to do things and to use our brains. The younger tech folks only do things that the computer automatically knows how to do and/or AI can help with. E

100% agree. I've used FF since version 1.x, but I've used Chrome as a secondary at times, and I've had more problems in Chrome than FF. In fact, I've literally never experienced a bug in FF, except for, prior to and in t

Yeah, I've opened Activity Monitor and confirmed that it's Zed and/or the Python instance that Zed is spawning (via a 3.11 venv). To be fair, Zed is running just fine on an M2 MacBook Air. I just wouldn't expect a code e
