Moved from my ultra 2, to a simply casio gshock 5601u, could not be happier, I am so sick and tired of all the notifications, stats, blah blah blah following me all over, from my macbook, iphone, that I just don't need it on my watch as well. I just don't care anymore about tracking everything and uploading to strava, or whever, and this comes from someone that, have over 100k km's logged on strava. I know the vast majority of people love it, and I love stats as well, but all the connected devices, is just getting too much, I am activily trying to go more simple, offline, outside of work.

Seems silly, I care about the quality of the content. I don't care who, created it, just if it is good, and if I can use it, learn from it etc.

normie...instantly puts me off from reading the post. Makes the author sound like he is above everyone else.

The Netherlands are exceptional, at giving this public image of this amazing country, where there is practically no crime, high living standards, little to no corruption, etc. etc. etc. etc. However the longer you live here, the more you realise it's just a thin veil on the top, dig just a little bit past that, and it's a country faced with multiple serious issues. So something like this benefits scandal was not such a big surprise.

typescript as a language on it's own, is worth it, however the nightmare of the landscape of all the poorly develop libraries and endless layers around it causes me to never pick it for a backend project.

With a attitude like that, I wonder if it is worth having you on the team. Might just push me to pick JS then.
