It's just the anime/blue haired/furry/ze-zey-xer-xe-they-them people that left X after Musk brought the garlic.

was going downhill ever since they adopted wokeism. Let's not forget what Twitter was before Musk. A wasp nest.

There are many countries where the white man (I know you're burning to write patriarchy) is in absolute minority and doing very well, without being in the top for crime rates. There is enough wealth "kept for themselves" with blacks also, this is just nonsense, you people love to point fingers since there is no other excuse but the white male for everything you have to experience. "People in power", what a lame argument.

Looking at your comments history I need to do this: GhatGPT test: send me a react component for a todo app.

i love frontends like shadcn/ui too much to go away from react - AS MUCH as I'd love to do it since I hate npm cancer to death

One of the reasons I stay away from it is that, at least in recent years, every scam that I see taking place involves crypto. I have a lot of acquaintances and I can almost draw a line at this stage: the higher the "shadyness" of the person, the more they are invested or talking about crypto. I am yet, even tho I owned, to have had the need to use crypto in my daily/weekly/monthly/yearly life.

It is very easy to destroy lives with it as we can see in this case, and, making it harder to do so will work against the vary nature of this tech. This is a tough nut to crack but I think the space will remain filled with predators constantly baiting prey into the system with the promise of a big reward.

Unless it's a simulation and stuff exists only when you look at it to save GPU cycles for more important stuff.
"better" is just fashion nowadays. There's nothing astro does that NextJs can't. Worked with both and still work with both.
hey! it's "written in rust"

Mailgun on the same path, exactly.
Let's hope it is not another "Netlify" honeypot aka "settle in boys, generous free plan, port everything and lock yourself in. I'll start adjusting those prices next year when it will cost you $10 even to send some emails from your contact form".
When "Written in Rust" is the most notable thing you find worth mentioning

because it has follow links im there. It's a SEO spam.
mhm, meanwhile his website says he has "Access our 115+ Million proxy network." huh?
They are never ethically sourced. Ethically for them means placing a phrase in a 10k word TOS when victims installs app X, game y which loads their sdk. Ethically here means "we warned them in a TOS"
only if you manage to go past npm install
easy to call people names on the internet is it not? what if i did all that?
I had no Revolut back then
Only if you can cancel your sub. They are taking money from my account even after 6 years, each month, and I can't cancel it. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40619329#40619770)
Adobe is a virus. You cannot get rid of it. I have an old payment subscription at them that I cannot cancel even after calling the bank. You can't veen close it from the process list without sacrificing 2 hours.

As I said above, cult-like. They will swiftly call you names if you even dare to question their beliefs. Thank you for proving me right kind sir.

I do not complain. I've seen this trend multiple times by now. First time was with Ruby on Rails I think [1], then the cancer that led us to write JS to output HTML and all the good stuff that came and still manages to pour from npm. Every now and then you can spot the "fashion" out of these things.

Rust is good and has earned its place. I just despise cult-like followings for these languages and technologies.

Oh the language is good, it's the people. Cult-like.

Rust is the "frontend wave" of the backends. All the woke kids gravitate towards it. A suffix of "Written in Rust" is a thing here so I'm throwing away my internet points now.
I see minimalism, not brutalism and, comparing Vercel's design with Netlify's (from your bio), guess where I find the brutalism...
