I think that now the bottleneck will be less the tasks after development but before. Deciding what to build will be the new bottleneck. Finding ways to measure the system to make decisions, all of these need to improve. We risk building the wrong thing at an accelerated pace

Funny that aliens only visit USA Uk and Germany.

Electron might be a good example of worse is better.

There was once a cloud conference in Brazil called ConaCloud. I'm guessing "cona" means something different in Brazilian Portuguese than it does in European Portuguese. In Portugal is a slang word for vagina.

EU should mandate open alternatives to Siri on Apple

Here in Portugal, tax comes pre calculated from the government on a free web application. It works very well! I just need to do very small adjustments every year before deliver the taxes.

And most of their carbon dioxide production is due to “developed countries” consumption

Since when Accenture is European? It’s this because these companies are not Palantir?

If American companies don’t respect Europe regulation it’s time to Europe invest in dedicated software competing with office 365, social networks, even android/apple/windows os.

Couldn’t we try to rely more in other topologies other than client server. I see technologies like wireguard and Tailscale could reduce the dependence on data centers now that we have considerable compute on our homes.

I was working in ASP.NET when projects like Backbone.js, Knockout, and Angular started to pop up. They were trying to address issues on mainstream tech at that moment (compilation times vs. hot reload, avoid full-page reloads). There was a lot of criticism around the use of JavaScript in the server back then.

Now I see the opposite. Web standards can solve the full reload page problem, so it's time to rethink if we still need to manage state in the client, with all the complexity that this involves.

The biggest issue for me it’s the division between backend and Frontend roles. I like to do both, but lately I’m doing backend. It changes a lot how we do things, refinements are mostly to create contracts between the Frontend and backend tasks, we’re they should focus on business use cases.
