I have tried given a simple test suite and asking for an implementation that fulfills it, then asking to modify its impl and the test suite with a new requirement and it did it

I've been using docsify in this manner for a while and it's worked well for me

this is what I learned is functional programming and I've also benefited greatly from it

not every thing is a transaction though, say a deleted piece of ref data that still has FKs to other stuff etc

you never use nix env really, agree if that's the only thing you are after then there is no point switching

it's really useful if you work on projects that need different version of dependencies, as you can define on a folder basis what jdk or python versions you want to have. You can even commit this to git so that everyone has the same env locally

I imagine the client facing pages are very sensitive to seo/crawling so that's why they go for server side rendering

it's mostly lots of code fragments and incrementally building on whatever he's trying to convey, is not like he put a brain dump or a wall of text as per when that phrase is used.

So your comment doesn't ring true in this case imo

same with my bank in the UK when I had to apply for a mortgage, what a pain was to find a service or working fax machine it was

Maybe a bit overdone, but I think in between lines the interviee well knows the intended solution to the question and is just toying with the interviewer to make a point, much like a cat playing with a barely dead mouse

NFTs represent something else completely, I'm talking of other use cases that are enabled by the same underlying tech - with the disclaimer I mentioned above of pending issues to be resolved, particulaly gas fees

if you are not aware of how something like what I described could work maybe have a read around on some simple smart contracts where there is hidden state (like guess the answer or contracts that implement role access/control for certain features)

even if you could update state* once you gave access to anything it's out of your control as it might be cached somewhere else. This is why I mentioned for future changes rather than what you already allowed.

And you are right twitter can still have that clause, and they can cause they have somethign to offer (i.e. a userbase) but if the content of everyone would be somewhere else other competiors would be able to offer it and then competiion for users would tend to make those terms more accessible to those that care enough to read them.

* you can by doing it as in an event sourcing system. After all blockchains+smart contracts are similar to a giant state machine
