> Add remote control door opening without destroying my flat's intercom system.

Oh hey, I made that[0] at a previous apartment! It sat on my LAN and I'd VPN in if I was out of wifi range.

I struggle to find time/motivation for stuff like that these days. I was contracting back then and had downtime between jobs.

Better still, use the free geolite ASN MMDB with geoip2-golang[0]. Or the lower-level maxminddb-golang[1] if you only need certain fields.

It's like designers are the very first corner to cut. Or the dev is expected to also be a designer. It's a very different skill set. I'll build your mock-ups, or copy the look and feel of something else, but I can't design my way out of a paper bag. My brain just doesn't seem to work that way.

It seems they identify so closely with dotnet that any perceived criticism is taken as a personal slight. It's the only thing that explains such a rabid response to a reasonable observation.

They are in that institution because they didn't respond to the threat of penalties.

Even if the penalty were death, a new inmate would be coerced to grab the package under threat of a worse death.

TypeScript is nice here because you can specify the specific strings you accept in a union. Eg. `unit: 'AC'|'DC'`

> Its time that we think about decoupling corporate control of the internet and establish some hard and fast ground rules

The time to do that was many years ago. I'm afraid it's too late, the entrenched interests have too much money/power.

> poor state management in the wrong locations

Can you expand on that? I've never hit perf issues with react but I've been curious how it commonly happens.
