I have used Angular since version 5.

I have never had any major issues or problems with it.

Think of it this way: GraphQL, Docker, and Kubernetes solve problems that very, very, very few GIANT tech companies have, but not every app will scale to millions of users.

Never bothered to learn GraphQL - anything being pushed by big tech companies usually in 80% of the cases works for them, but its an overkill for smaller scale projects.

Stick to tried and true - monolith, asp.net, angular or blazor front-end, relational database.

TreeSizeView also works perfectly.

And the site is up.

I 100% agree with the article.

Hetzner is the way to go.

Which version of C++ ?

Love the comment.

Nope, its what I do.

Same with kubernets/microservices/insert-buzz-word - if I see a lot of evangelists praising it - then I know for sure to stay away. :)

Yes, I am aware that .NET is popular, but there are always exceptions.

I never, ever bothered to learn React.

Stuck with .NET/C#.

If I have to write web UI, I use Angular, Blazor, and Razor MVC.

React never made any sense to me, and the more I saw people using it, the more it reconfirmed my belief that it was a no-go.

Usually, people win if they do the opposite of what the mass is doing :)

Similar experience.

Around '96-97 I was playing with writing fire effects in Turbo Pascal, most of the tutorials used the asm with mode 13h, and all I had was Turbo Pascal 5.5, which didn't support the asm keyword. So, I dabbled a bit with it, and then in late 97, I found about C, and when I saw the for loop in C - I never touched Pascal again.

In my family - we have two cars - all Alfa Romeos.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018 / 2.0 petrol / 280 bhp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 2021 / 2.9 V6 / 510 bhp

We have ZERO incentives to change these cars with electrics; why would I change my convenience to put gas in the established gas network with the dubious charging station availability (Eastern Europe)?

I drove a Hyundai Kona electric last year; well, when you drive it at 150-180 km/h - the battery dies quite fast :)

I am not convinced AT ALL in electric cars. Maybe in 20-30 years ...

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, at the end of the day, businesses use software in LOB apps.

Period.

Get shit done.

WebForms/ASP.NET MVC/.NET Core MVC/Blazor will outlive ANY js framework.

EU/UK slowly going back to the Dark Ages. 'Eletricity is too expensive'.

What is next - I shower once per week to preserve energy :D

There is nothing more serious than gaming.

Yeah, I don't care about power consumption.

There is no 'serious' computers coming out of Apple for quite some time now - just glorified consumption devices :)

Can Apple sillicon run Dota2@200fps or Visual Studio (Not CODE!) 2022+ as good as an x86? Can I put a 7900XTX on a Mac and run Windows natively ?
