Double thumbs up for acoup.blog - it's what I fall back to reading if HN doesn't have anything interesting.
His work is also really well sourced, so it's a great jumping off point if you are looking for more work on the subject.
His sparta series, and the fremen series are absolutely outstanding.

I'm trying to login to auth0 to make some config changes, but it's not loading for me.
Auth0's status page says "all is well", but I suppose uptime pages are just marketing pages these days...
Anyway, is this happening for anyone else or is it just me?
UPDATE: it's back up now

They also use patreon as a significant source of recurring revenue, so they can create a small number of high quality videos instead of putting out content constantly.
It's a very different business model, and it doesn't have the potential to become as profitable as Mr Beast.

The polity novels by Neal Asher scratch a similar itch - the polity is much less utopian than the culture, but the world building is quite similar. I would recommend the Transformation arc as a good starting point!

If you are looking to become more competitive as a candidate, I strongly recommend that you look at one of the more popular languages / frameworks instead of focusing on Ruby on Rails.
Despite the major investment made by Stripe and Shopify, my experience is similar to that of this commenter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40161561 - like them, I've found the open source libraries available in the Ruby + Rails ecosystem to be aging and less well supported than that of more popular languages / frameworks like GoLang / Java / Python.
Rails is delightful to work in and very thoughtfully constructed, and the Rails community is helpful and welcoming. However, if your priority is to maximize your chances at getting hired, I would look towards GoLang / Java / Python etc, which are far less enjoyable to work in but far easier to find jobs for.
Best of luck!

Could you share the kinds of situations in which you've seen Stimulus and Turbo really shine?
My team inherited a Rails app, which used Turbo and Stimulus and we really struggled to create UIs that matched our design team's vision. We eventually had to move to react + MUI just so that we could build a webapp with a modern look and feel.
None of us come from a rails background, so I'm sure that a big part of our problem came from us trying to bend Rails to our will rather than embracing it - if you have any advice on articles / books that embody the rails approach, I'd be really grateful if you could share them.

I'm aware of one more upside - ordinary poor Sri Lankans are starting to realize how disastrous racism and nationalism have been, and are starting to reject these ideas.
I recently saw a video where an agitator came up to a mob of mostly Sinhalese people (Sinhalese being the majority ethnic group) and said "The Muslims are coming after me with swords!" only to be told by the mob to take his racism and nationalism elsewhere. The current administration came to power on a racist and nationalistic platform, and it seems that racist and nationalist thinking is falling from grace right along with the ruling clan.
I couldn't find the video I mentioned above, so I am not able to cite it, but I can cite the following examples of more un-racist and un-nationalist behavior in Sri Lankans at present:
1. In the following article, you can see posters of murdered Tamil journalists (Tamil being the second biggest ethnic group in Sri Lanka, which historically had a great deal of ethnic conflict with the Sinhalese) being displayed right alongside pictures of murdered Sinhalese journalists - https://groundviews.org/2022/05/13/challenging-impunity-for-... . To me, this is groundbreaking - for a very long time, Sinhalese Sri Lankans would dismiss any atrocities against the Tamils out of hand. As part of the current protests against the president of Sri Lanka, I've heard more and more stories of atrocities performed against Tamils being discussed and elevated by Sinhalese people, and that is a powerful sign of positive change.
2. Sri Lankans are also becoming more open to LGBTQ people - in the past, Sri Lanka has been incredibly conservative, and profoundly dismissive and marginalizing of everyone who is not straight and cis. However, there was more openness and acceptance of LGBTQ folks during the protests against the president, and Sri Lankans even celebrated pride: https://www.themorning.lk/pride-in-colombo-past-present-and-...
Having said this, Sri Lanka is in a very tough spot indeed - being more open-minded and progressive is cold comfort when you are eating just one meal a day, or sleeping in your car while in line for fuel.

I serve as a hiring manager at a startup in nyc - we aren’t actively searching for recent grads, but I could chat and offer you a sanity check about your qualifications!
For what it’s worth, I got my first internship through a family friend :)
