This Bun rewrite feels like a potential Mythos marketing stunt.

I am Cuban and from Miami. The culture here is very similar where people will sacrifice everything in order to stay living close to family and "home". Here it stems a lot from the financial anxiety passed down from our parents and a culture where you relied a lot on your entire family. I think it really holds a lot of people back.

I agree, Reddit communities after a certain point become awful.
I think you can still find great communities but they feel like ticking time-bombs.
Only a matter of time before they became too big and issues from large communities begin to spill in.

For SWEs what is a good way to get an intro into hardware?
Tyler and Blurr were legendary in the RSPS scene, 2speced was such a wellmade and maintained RSPS. I wonder where they are now.
Wondering if anyone played on the RSPS 2speced back in the day? it was really popular
My favorite RSPS was 2speced. It was probably one of the most famous 317 servers. I still remember the forum names of the developers, Tyler and Blurr. I sometimes wonder what they do now. The RSPS scene was awesome.
What they do over at Koenigsegg is amazing, i feel like most people arent aware at the incredible things they do, CVK is an amazing engineer too and its awesome watching him speak about the cars.
Koenigsegg does innovate a lot in manufacturing car parts for their hypercars, if you watched Christian von Koenigsegg speak about the engineering they do its really impressive.
In some alternate universe CVK is making cars that compete with Tesla and are better. Although they make amazing products i wish he and his team of brilliant engineers would work on inexpensive cars, im almost certain they could innovate in the space.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Netflix engineers didn't have blog posts from other companies on how to handle the scale they started facing. Facebook didn't have blog posts to reference when they scaled to 1B users. They pay for talent that have built systems that had not been built before and they have seen a return on it so they continue to do it.

I don't think that's a common assumption, inflation means stricter monetary policy which slows growth for companies so stocks go down.
Real estate is not a good hedge against inflation, check out this video to see how there is no real proven hedge against inflation[1] (supporting papers in the videos description)

I've mentioned this before[1], we once had a domain stolen because somebody called GoDaddy and was able to get the 2FA code removed with a phone call and they had some leaked email credentials for the account.
We had to call GoDaddy and cancel the domain transfer, they would give us no information on how it happened.

I work at a very small company and our products are not used by a lot of users. Our stack is very simple: Rails/Heroku/Redis/PostgresI spend time reading about larger scale systems and watching talks about how big companies have scaled their products and the challenges they face and its given me a general understanding about some scaling techniques.Is there some way i can try to implement some...

I can't login to Heroku, there seems to be some authentication issue.
Sidekiq is the best library i have ever used, i have never ran into any issues using it and Mike has personally answered a bunch of my Stack Overflow questions that involve Sidekiq. He deserves every dollar.
I guess what interests me is how people structure their projects from small to large code bases.
I've been learning python specifically to get better at competitive programming style questions (I mainly work with Ruby on Rails).
Now I am trying to find projects that are well written to get an idea of how good Python is written but it seems like most recommendation are large projects like Flask. I want to learn the design patterns and file structures of Python in a way where i am not completely lost.

How do you guys approach the "start" of reading a code base?I never know where to start looking, specifically if its a language i am not too familiar with i have no idea where to start and sometimes i have no idea where the program execution starts.Is there maybe a ladder of small to large open source projects that can get you there?For example i have no idea how to begin reading the Flask(1)...

correlation != causation, people do not choose to murder more because the majority of their community votes red. There are many variables to this problem.
