Never heard of UltraEdit in 10yrs of my career, or came across it when searching for editors and IDEs.

  To be honest, the corporate rat race thrives at making people who are otherwise doing quite well with their career progression feel like they're not because that makes them easier to exploit. Life is not an exam to be min-maxed. You don't take that fancy career or lifetime earnings with you when you die, so unless you're doing it for the intrinsic joy of doing it, there's an argument to be made that becoming better at engineering has no guarantee of making your life better.
This. Especially that last line. I feel most of the time I'm just wanting to get more and more, both financially and challenges wise. But to what end? Your words here really calmed me down. I got me thinking. I felt like a dog running after a car.

Well if I can quickly translate my small personal use app ideas to Android using this, then this is gold for me.

Thank you for this. I'll try it out and let you know how far I could get.

Re:Ask HN: What do I move on to from Django? on Monday July 06, 2020 @06:34AM (#23746413)
I've been wanting to try out the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem. Guess this weekend's going to be spent doing a few tuts on those.
Whoa! CoronaSDK got opensourced?! It was the hype back in 2012-15ish era. It and Ionic etc. Always wanted to learn something like that but never got beyond backend dev thanks to overloading office work by my jerk employer back then. Will definitely check it out now, now that I'm in a better place and have weekdays to myself purely.

Ask HN: What do I move on to from Django?

I've been a Django backend engineer for most of my career of 7 years, and recently shifted to working on NodeJS+Express because the current company runs on it.So, is it okay to stick to Django in 2020? The last project I made in Django - I used v3.0 and it was still fine although a lot had changed from v1.11. Except of course I forgot DRF a bit and had to throw out some APIs I wrote in it...

For millions plus rows, the queries get crazy slow. If your jsonb field contains lot of data, JOINs on toast storage tables takes chunk of the query times.

My 2 cents: Best to keep data normalized and in separate columns. If you gotta keep data in jsonb, keep only the data that you don't need to query on. Anything you need to query, you better put it as a column. You'll thank me later.

This is plain childish. As if your individual stand will make Trump stand down from the presidential position.
