Lets peek into whether those divisions are organic or driven through NGOs.

Note how almost no one will acknowledge this is happening in the backdrop of unravelling of USAID and how certain powers in the world sow discord in other countries.

I have done a complete 180 on this issue in recent years.

> Having an enterprise product automatically increases headcount by 5x

Can you expand on this. Why is this the case. Does it even mean increase in engg headcount, if so why. Can you link to somewhere if possible. Always had this question, and this pattern is very similar in other places. So maybe it works?

Is it just me or Siri is very bad at picking up accents (mine isn't that bad having lived in the US for a while) and background noise.

One of the more impressive things about using the Google's voice assistant was, it did very well in noisy environments. Whereas with Siri, that is quite a bit of struggle. This is only about speech-to-text, not text-to-whatever.

> They raised a ton of money on a high valuation, spent 25mil to make 1 mil last year and are now scrambling to raise a new crowd sourced round because they don't want to get wiped out in a down round.

Sorry to get off-topic, but is there a read/book to understand funding, VCs, etc., from a holistic POV. I totally didn't expect that consequence of having to raise a crowd sourced round due to initial high valuation.

McD India has great options. Some of these chains are actually much better outside the US.

I feel complex UI development becomes a ease with SPA ecosystem than server side.

One of the things that I found lacking, was doing like general computing-esque business intelligence tasks in htmx. For example, how would you set src on image tag upon a click. Ended up having to use jquery.

I’ve developed such a inadvertent hatred for Spotify because of their app.

Definitely will give a go by deploying privately.

Does it support markdown extensions, like GitHub flavored markdown or something.
