Nothing against gitlab as I use and pushed for it in my company, but I feel it's heading towards Azure Devops(this might be entirely baseless). By that I mean it's geared more towards enterprise teams and business than startups looking to build stuff and deploy. I say this off the complexity of their UI, their feature set and what they seem to prioritize.

+1 for this. I use it with notion(and pinned tabs) so I can have multiple workspaces with multiple emails

You're not alone. No matter how much I hate chrome, I've never been more displeased by an app as I am with Firefox's mobile app. We might see a new one though based off firefox preview so hopefully I can make the complete switch soon

I actually went ahead to learn haskell after one of his recent talks(my motivation was the vehement rejection from the haskell community..on reddit mostly) I haven't turned back since then. It's either he doesn't really understand how types are used or he's intentionally "bad-mouthing" types(which I don't think he's doing)

I would assume most android users think android is cheap rather than free. It would be interesting though to see their response to such price hike(if it ever happens)

That's the thing. The EU is not trying to tell Google how to make money from android. It's only saying it can't force installation of search and chrome. It's upto Google to find another means of making money that won't exploit their dominance in other markets

I think it should still be possible to seperate view from the service at the backend, even if that means defining more routes. I am talking from the hiccup(clj) point of view though

You can do the same with server rendered apps. I don't think reacted and co invented components

+1 for the last paragraph. I used that technique to quell my desire to use event sourcing everywhere

> Nowhere have I said that if you see an error message you don't know how to program.

> making it approachable and stooping to the lowest common denominator.

> We agree errors are useful even if we disagree that Clojure's errors are bad.

I would assume that you disagree with the article then, in which case I can't make any other point to emphasize that

As a clojure programmer myself, it surprises me to see other clojure programmers say this. Error messages are an important part of programming and that you didn't face many errors doesn't mean others won't and doesn't mean they don't know how to program either. Even the article above clearly states that error messages are bad.

This is very true. The same way one doesn't know if a background was started is the same way you can't know if a file was written to or some global state was changed. I thought async/await solves most of his examples

You are falling into the same trap described by @chiefalchemsit. Saying normal people should have common sense only makes matters worse
