PHP and Laravel are amazing.

As a novice Arch user, I never realized this is why I needed to update keys often

I get it now, but I have so much imposter syndrome that I wasn't sure if this was ACTUALLY something I needed to figure out -__-

Going off of that framework:

Because doing three requires convincing a bunch of people that are currently doing number two, to do number one instead.

The market can stay silly longer than I can stay solvent

Nebula is such a streaming service. From what I understand, they are a subscription based company that has a profit share incentive for it's creators. Consequently, the creators skew toward educational-esque content.

The OP is right that in everyday talk state is not used in the general sense of "government"

My own tin foil hat theory is that "state" in that usage entered into common English use (in U.S.) because of foreign actors. Rush Limbaugh, et al. have been talking about "deep state" long before it entered common use around the 2020 election.

I think a lot of people dislike that JavaScript is a general purpose programming language, rather than being a scripting engine for browsers.

Htmx posits that current browsers aren't "truly" hypermedia since only anchor tags and forms can initiate GET/POST requests. It is more of a tech demo showing what client with ANY tag being able to do requests would look like.

That's why whether it is library/framework is besides the point. The author posits that these features should be in the spec, and tries as closely as possible to show what something might look like if we had it in the spec

while I understand the hesitation, there are many solutions that only make sense at scale.

Anectdotal: I got a raise after two years working for my current company. It's nice, to be sure, but it doesn't cover inflation according to the BLS inflation calculator.
