Holy mother of god, this is gorgeous!
It is absolutely incomprehensible how _vast_ the Universe is.
I can only hope one day I'll be reborn as a lifeform who can bend time and space to explore it all.

Thanks Meta for inspiring me to work on my crazy side projects that no-one needs!

I urge you to check out https://hypermedia.systems/ (free to read online).
TL;DR: The web platform has evolved (and continues to evolve) so much that I don't see a need to use SPAs for the majority of web applications.

My (unpopular?) take is that JavaScript should suffice.
Once I feel the need for TypeScript, I've done something wrong. For example, built my whole frontend with JavaScript or built my backend in JavaScript.
JavaScript's use case for me is sprinkling it where needed in browser. Anything extra and it feels wrong tool for the job.
Frankly, I believe whole existence of TypeScript is a mistake – we should've never used JavaScript at a scale where static typing becomes necessary.
Having said all that, I'd love to be able to write gradually typed JavaScript (i.e. TypeScript) in the browser. Gradual typing is still greatly beneficial, even in my sprinkles.

This is such a simple distinction, yet totally transforming and invigorating!
I appreciate a lot if people share such insights.

As a generalist with half the years of experience you have, I'm looking to get into contract work, too.
Do you have any tips on how to pull it off successfully?

Haters gonna hate, EU's gonna regulate.
And I support it.
Big tech cries crocodile tears and then makes their products compatible with EU regulations anyway.

If you're serious about scaling up, definitely consider Vespa (https://vespa.ai).
At serious scale, Vespa will likely knock all the other options out of the park.

This is great stuff, thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Looking to do something similar in terms of offering better, paid alternatives to the existing solutions out there in a source-available fashion.
Anyone here experiencing trouble with tools you'd terribly want someone to improve?

Clojure does many things right and I like it for it a lot.
One thing that I see slowing down real teams building real web stuff with Clojure is the near-dogmatic desire to compose (dare I say hack) everything together from tons of libraries that each have their own understanding of how things should be.
I bet Clojure would be much more popular and nicer to work with if the community would _also_ (i.e. in addition to the current approach) have actively-maintained, batteries-included, generally usable web framework(s). (Is Biff it?)
So that there would be alternative path to choose for us who like the language, but are not fans of the build-your-own-monster approach.
Disclaimer: I have been spoiled by Ruby on Rails

Poe is a platform that lets people ask questions, get instant answers, and have back-and-forth conversations with a wide variety of AI-powered bots. It is available on iOS, Android, MacOS and web.
The AI on Poe is powered by models from several sources, trained by different companies. Those different models are optimized for different tasks, represent different points of view, or have access to different knowledge. Some models are fine-tuned versions of models created by others.
Poe currently supports ChatGPT and GPT-4 from OpenAI, Claude Instant and Claude 2 from Anthropic, StableDiffusionXL from Stable Diffusion XL, PaLM from Google, Llama 2 from Meta, and many other bots created by the community.

TL;DR: Estonia operates a Tier 4 (highest security) data center in Luxembourg with diplomatic immunity. Can actively run critical government services in real-time, not just backups.
