We mostly saw the guy typing. The clicking sound is very distracting. Using vim didn't do him any favour. I would be much more impressed if we could get more insight into to the thinking and problem solving process. Also smoking is not commonly accepted productivity booster.

I'm not following the trends closely, but has Polars become a full replacement for Pandas? Are there use cases where one is better suited than the other?

I'm a little out of touch with these technologies (sveltekit, nextjs), but is there any advantage to using the same technology for both frontend and backend development beyond the rise of full-stack developers?

What about using React/Svelte for the frontend and a separate backend in Node.js or another stack? Is there any real advantage to having a single monolithic codebase for everything?

> They are open source developers, giving away free software as a gift. There is no duty here.

But actually there is! They didn't start from scratch. They took another very successfull and beloved project with the promise "to make it better". There is some promise here and the duty not to make it worse.
