What I've concluded is there's just NO WAY the world is going to do the right thing until the entire Amazon rainforest (and forests in general) have been converted to food production for food animals, dusty fattening lots for slaughter stretch to the horizon and all fresh water sources are drained.

So sensitive is the subject of what one consumes!

Maybe once climate disasters become more common and the price of meat becomes far too expensive for value menus will we start to change course. But I doubt it, we'll probably build meat factories in space before that.

In the meantime, those precious ag jobs are probably more threatened by automation than impossible burgers.

It’s a life time tool that grows with you.

I’m not sure what that means exactly, but no one is using Rails only for building out micro services. They’re using Rails to go from nothing to a production ready web application, with all the incidental complexity taken care of, in a very short time.

It’s been a few years since I was involved with Clojure ecosystem - what is the Clojure experience equivalent to say, the original Rails demo from back in 2005? The last I tried, all the parts seemed to be there, but much painful assembly/“composing” was required and not all the parts fitted which ended up producing a lot of awkward complexity needing desperate decomplecting.

How true is that?
