Are you sure about this? I've heard this complaint from a lot of non-tech people who are old enough to remember flip phones with replaceable batteries. It might be age related.

If you had a feeling you could do more, would you not try?

When you’re not personally involved, it’s easy to see that this might be misguided, but when living through it and experiencing daily fear of loss of your partner, it’s extremely difficult to think logically.

I have seen this multiple times and it’s always so unbearably sad.

There are always attempts in every language to replicate the convention over configuration and batteries included approach of Rails, but they all lose steam pretty quickly.

I just don’t think there is an alternative to Rails. It’s a giant project that is actively developed for over 2 decades now.

Well, if you’re ever in Arizona, let’s grab a coffee and talk about the old country.

It's really like a different reality.

Coffee before work? Sure thing. Another coffee after work? Absolutely. Drinks in the evening? Definitely.

The thought of not seeing your friends for a month or longer is just absurd over there. If you don't see them regularly they're not your friends. The whole culture is built around spending time with people, and I only realized that after I left.

I enjoy living in the US, but man, I do miss having such a social life.

One of their former engineers gave a statement that LAM is just a marketing term and nothing like that exists.

If all the selling points are in future tense at what point can we call it a scam?

Edit: also the founder’s previous gig was a crypto scam that also promised AI on the blockchain

Turns out that it is just an automation script and it cannot deal with site redesigns or CAPTCHAs.

Edit, just found they have made this claim also which simply doesn't exist at all:

> The R1 also has a dedicated training mode, which you can use to teach the device how to do something, and it will supposedly be able to repeat the action on its own going forward. Lyu gives an example: “You’ll be like, ‘Hey, first of all, go to a software called Photoshop. Open it. Grab your photos here. Make a lasso on the watermark and click click click click. This is how you remove watermark.’” It takes 30 seconds for Rabbit OS to process, Lyu says, and then it can automatically remove all your watermarks going forward.

A month later another whistleblower who was in good health dies suddenly and unexpectedly.

I don't think it's surprising to think that this combination of events is extremely unlikely.

Like, yes, my language has a ton of words for all possible familial relationships, for example different words for maternal and paternal uncle, but that’s because familial relationships are important in my culture and that’s reflected in the language.

Language is the reflection of culture, not the other way around

What we knew at the time of the first crash of max 8 seemed to imply a pilot error. It wasn’t statistically significant. Only when another max 8 crashed soon after (I think soon enough to say “in a row”) was the max 8 grounded. If the second crash occured years after it wouldnt be significant.

A single crash of a 737 Max 8 is not an outlier, but two crashes in a row of the same model of an airplane definitely is.

If performance is very important there are better options like Rust or Go, but otherwise RoR is my go to. Pretty much everything you need is baked into the framework and it's still being actively developed. Some of the new stuff is pretty great like Turbo frames and streams.

I respect that you enjoy working in Nodejs but Nodejs frameworks are just so barebones in my experience. I haven't tried Adonis but I still remember when I was looking how to parse query params in Koa. The official docs said to use a third party lib or regex them yourself from the request string...like why would I even use a framework at that point?

I was offered a managerial position multiple times and declined it every time saying that it would be a loss for both myself and the company. I'm way more useful in an individual contributor role and a better way to leverage my experience would be to be a cross-team IC and help on the more demanding projects/initiatives.

Eventually, after being vocal about it for a while and actively helping other teams with parts of the system they didn't have experience with, that's what I got. The bad part is that most challenging work often ends up in my lap. The good part is that most challenging work ends up in my lap.

I feel this in a very specific way. It's not that I don't have anything to do, it's that there are so many options. There are so many things I want to do on my days off that I get overwhelmed and spend the day thinking which one of my projects to tackle.

In the end I usually just pass the time and not do anything constructive.
