It seems that some TypeScript and Rust devs are converging in their holier than thou approach, never missing an opportunity to belittle people for not choosing a tool they would have chosen.

Can anyone recommend a good Docker Hub alternative for simple image hosting excluding AWS/GCP/Azure products?

> We’re excited to announce the availability of a new PWA feature that closes this gap and helps blur the line between apps and websites even more.

I don't see how they can use "blurred line" as a positive trait here. There are important differences between native apps and web apps, why hide this information from a regular user, especially when this information can be conveyed by 30 pixels.

Same reason why people are proud of things that are totally outside of their influence: tribalism, nationalism etc.

> I too have seen the articles proclaiming that devs should stop implementing auth themselves > and instead use some Auth as a service product.

It's a moved goal post which sneakily tries to position itself on top of the old adage "never roll your own crypto". Problem is, that adage is really about security whereas "don't roll your own auth" is about not wanting to do a mostly boring part of your job. I'd take my hat off if they'd admit it, but it's much easier to get budget with potential security scares compared to "we don't wanna".

I don't think certifications will make a significant difference from the HR point of view (maybe in Enterprise) but one thing I observe in my network is that some people really benefit from certifications purely because it boosts their self-confidence or help them get over a nagging case of impostor syndrome.

I find that these people feel lost when you tell them they'd be better off just being curious and learning by doing the thing itself. They tend to find comfort in systems like the belt system in martial arts. So, if you feel this way- it might be worthwhile to pick up a few certifications just for yourself.
