Can you force a non-parallel build of those rust crates to make the comparison fairer?

The grass is always greener for some problem somewhere.

Try doing what you write on a (corporate) Windows machine with NTFS and file filters

Yes indeed, that will be a much better road to a durable, maintainable, secure and agile product than focusing on product goals in a higher level language with a framework.

When will we start using LLMs to write my web backend directly in UEFI and assembler? (Although uefi is an OS, so maybe more fair to exit the boot services)

I’d argue they both admin that Linux servers are the target for a lot of applications to run on. Not to develop on.

Tesla is not marked as a gatekeeper by the EU and thus the law does not apply.

I’m really interested how you got these numbers. Using some of the daycare providers in our most expensive city (Amsterdam) with an obscene collective income (250k) with 5 full days of daycare (which not many parents even want) I get net 1300 per child.

For 3 days with more normal incomes it is closer to 700-800 euros

Adyen has resellers. Mollie is one example, they do have. Get Started and no lower limit. These smaller parties rely on the bank license of Adyen

Windows _is_ garbage for a lot of modern development (except thise targeting Win32). But that does not matter to the ICT department tasked with controlling and securing all endpoints, preferring a single, very well known and controllable OS over freedom and performance.

Anything with node_modules takes ages on my Windows machine, whether it is through WSL, Docker or direct, largely in part due to corporate filters, checks, anti-virus and malware protectors and endpoint control.

Google is also pushing Chrome on all their other apps. Google Maps keeps asksing me in what browser to open a link; putting Chrome first: I don’t have Chrome installed.

And that on top of the EEE-steps with all the non-standards they keep implementing.

If you count -all of europe- as a developing country, sure.

In europe we never had free unlimited texts. Internet was cheaper than calling/texting, especially with everyone having wifi at home and work. So a cross-platform messaging app appeared and has replaced text and calling.

Instead you rent, and your landlord agrees that it is fine.

So now you look at a shitty fence. Which you could have done when owning the house too

Thats the top level though, attainable with 10-15 years of ‘lead java dev’ experience. That is different from 10-15 years of java experience

Big AAA games have access to Unreal or Unity code and they change the code to fit their needs. They are not able to share the Unity/Unreal code
