I had an interview like this, I got annoyed and just responded with "I don't know" to all of his questions. Then the CEO of the company offered me a position, politely declined ofc

I love claude, but looking at google it seems like it will just be a matter of time before Google/Gemini will be a better product. Just looking at how much Google have improved their AI game the last couple months. I'm putting my money on google, I assume the reason they are doing an IPO right now is to be able to cash in on the investment before google surpasses them.

It's a hot take, I know :D

What fixed it for me was to stop consuming caffeine. One month after removing caffeine I noticed my sleep got waaay better and my ability to focus got way better. I feel like caffeine gives you a false sense of being alert and focused when in reality you are exhausted.

Looks very similar to redpanda-connect/benthos

Not OP, but if you charge $100 per hour: $100 * 40h/week * 52 weeks/year = $208k

I know very little about compilers or bolt.

But what you just described sounds awesome!(and crazy)

Yes all the time for Python, JavaScript and golang

I hate it, it annoys me that content behind a paywall gets good page-rank.

+1, he is entertaining :)

Props to encore to writing interesting blogs, also I just want to say I tried the encore product and it's awesome(I only used it for a hobby project but still)

They should rename their site to 403media, the article is behind a paywall.

I actually don't use GraphQL in my current position, so I don't think to much about it any more. Intresting tools which I might consider in the future(If I have to write GraphQL).

I find it to be more complex(Hence more error prone), less performant, harder to resolve bugs.

For a queries and mutations you still need to write business-logic and database access which is very similar to how you would develop a REST-API.

I agree with the other posts.

I would also like to add that our taxes are rather high on income but very low on dividends from business. If you own a business you take out a salary which is under a certain tax bracket and then pay yourself dividends using the company profits which is very lucrative. It adds incentive for you to start a business.

We also have a good startup ecosystem, if you are going to start a startup it helps if you have worked at a startup and can bring your experiences. Germany to me feels much more like a country of enterprises compared with Sweden.

For the Americans, we don't worry about healthcare, saving for our kids college fund etc. so we might have more risk tolerance due to this.
