what great answers could look like here? A one way to address that is via tooling (e.g. to visualize state across time) but maybe there’s something more fundamental to be solved here? Or is it more about current tooling capabilities?

What? Does the idea of employment seem kinda novel in this take? You can gain significant impact multipliers by focusing human attention on a single goal. And not many things do that better than throwing money at a problem. However with ind

If a person belongs to the society, then sick, suffering people are not a value but a cost and killing them becomes net gain for society. It's very dangerous to give away body autonomy freedom to the collective as it could be potential

I understand your worry, but I've had a quite opposite take on this. I think we can agree that it's not that hard to find ANY job as an experienced developer. However it's much more difficult to find a great, satisfying job.

I do definitely recommend Clojure - I've switched to it in 2019 coming from Rails and JS and never looked back. Clojure's job market is great, there's no shortage of offers, even for newcomers and it has been the top paying l

I went from Ruby on Rails, then Javascript/Typescript to finally land at Clojure in 2019 and I'm not looking back. Clojure has been a perfect fit for my needs, very similar to what you describe, and neither Rails nor JS have been

Nowadays, you can get VSCode support for Clojure pretty much out of the box with calva[1] extension working together with clj-kondo [2] almost without any configuration. It works great - I've switched over from Cursive and I'm not

You're on to something. Low code platforms, at their core, allow you to define the software with data (from predefined components usually through UI) and that's how they enable super productivity, until you hit a wall. Data Declar

The most humanitarian solution to the collapse seems to be a combination of both: Global Universal Basic Income and Global Carbon Tax. Global GDP [1] = $142000bn Human population [2] = 7.8bn GUBI = $100 * 12 months * 7.8bn = $9360bn $9360bn

It needs to be universal so it doesn't penalize work. If there's any set limit, it'll create pathologies around it like people not taking up a job because it would lead them to loosing money/time.

The downsides are not clear to me as well. The only argument I could think of is a nationalistic sentiment that nations should live & work together but I find it poorly motivated in a global world. I see, however, a lot of benefits of e

If you're looking for potential alternatives to REST and GraphQL, I suggest checking out how Fulcro [1] works together with Pathom [2] using EQL [3]. It's a data-driven full-stack application programming system centered around gra

The original question made this mistake probably because the poster didn't know it but Pathom is the actual alternative to GraphQL-based APIs. Datalog solves a subtly different problem of querying the data, while Pathom/GraphQL&#x

I would add cryptic error java stacktraces to this list but, as someone who recently overcame the "java is gross" bias, I'd say benefits of JVM and its vast ecosystem outweigh the cost.
