Great question. To be honest, I like them both, but the 16" has less reflection so if that's important for you, go with that. I think there is an even better screen option now than the one I have. But I don't think I will upgrade to that since I am happy with the ones I currently have.

Since it is super simple to create a new app and super simple to deploy and host, I don't find it to be an overkill. And if you want to expand on an idea, it makes it very easy. For sometime that's really simple, like a landing page, I use jekyll and the end result is just plain HTML

I haven't used Sinatra for years, because whatever simple I start, Rails is super convenient to use for it these days. The single file thing I wrote this article about is only good for reporting bugs if one of the official bug report templates wouldn't be enough, or to test something. I use it for testing security related things and for little example apps.

I feel you. I live in Europe and I feel the same about traveling to the US. It is such an extra hassle compared to travel within the EU. In an ideal world we would have 2 non-politicized conferences each year, one in Europe, one in the States. Hopefully we will get that in the future.

So many great features. Rails still seems to be the best choice to build a web app.

I just received my Framework laptop recently, installed Fedora 36 + KDE Plasma, and even though it took some tweaking to get a close to my Mac behaviour, it works perfect. I had 0 driver problems. So it looks like Linux on the desktop seems to be getting there. And the best part, with this laptop, no shop needed to replace the battery, I can do it myself.
