I'm looking for some studies/articles/evidence(anecdotal or otherwise) about the business impacts of employing dark patterns. A specific case I'm interested in is how making it difficult to cancel a subscription might impact your user retention in the long run.

At work we use Google meet, which can handle multiple people screen sharing at once, and VSCode live share. It works pretty well. VSCode will forward ports for you so both people can access the running webapp, and you can allow them access to a terminal so it’s lets both of you to work in the code base as if they are developing solo locally.
> I hope that some of these optimizations are a pleasant surprise and will factor in your decisions to write clear, intention-revealing code and leave it to the compiler to do the right thing.
This was my key takeaway from this article. Writing clear code that is easier to maintain will have good enough performance most of the time. I was particularly impressed with the devirtualization optimizations and will be less likely to shy away from using polymorphism in future due to performance concerns.
Incompetence would be a pretty safe bet given the track record of the current government I would think.
I’ve always been super happy using Ruby. Never had any experiences that would cause me to label it in the way that you have. However, I am interested to know what those flaws are. Could you elaborate?
Its my understanding that the hashing should not be done client side, as that would expose the secret salt that is being used and reduce security?
Sounds more like a JIT to me.
Quite well. From Rails 5 there’s an API only init flag which removes the view layer and then you can just return JSON from controllers. Chuck nginx in front to proxy backend requests and serve your static front end bundle and you’re golden.
What stacks are you already familiar with?
Its based on Ubuntu, so whatever you can install on Ubuntu should work on Elementary. Only issue I've run into is while adding an apt repo(for docker I think) I needed to point it to bionic instead of juno.
Forgive me if I missed it, but I don’t believe I saw any mentions of ruby in this thread.
I feel like the English like syntax and use of keywords instead of symbols would be very beneficial for people with disabilities.
I guess python is in a similar vein, but ruby doesn’t rely on white space for its blocks, which I think is a real plus.
