I found it rather enjoyable, but a click bait title will definitely get you further in this age of the internet

Tbh I was 100% expecting it with all the shortages and chip crunched. Hardware is hard, no way around it If anything, I appreciate the transparency

Waning immunity seems to affect only the probability of getting infected. Vaccine effectiveness against serious disease, hospitalization, and death are still very high. So, maybe boosters won't be for everyone

Tesla FSD should be up there

He makes some good points in the talk, but omg what a troll he is. Also on Twitter he's been a jerk to so many people, I really don't understand. If he's looking for what's wrong with software companies, he's part of the problem with his attitude honestly

It's very close-minded to believe that having a common phrasebook to solve common problems can be described as a "code smell".

Design Patterns are tools in a box, aiming to create scalable solutions, but the way a solution is implemented is up to the implementer. Design patterns just try to establish the language.

The comment section shows one thing about these type of articles: you can't have a "one size fits all" solution for these types of things. Some people like it one way, some like it another way.

Just keep it moving until you find something that works.

I see the same response everywhere on TypeScript: when a project becomes big enough, it's a good way to keep it under control.

And I tend to agree: types can be annoying, but when stability and robustness come into play, TypeScript is most certainly the way to go. It enforces good behavior.

And yeah, of course it slows JavaScript down, that's entirely the point..! JS allows you to do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean it's always the right choice

The fact that Harari seems to think that everything is just a 'story' that we tell ourselves, is way too nihilistic.

Maybe, taking this external perspective, we can understand better the direction in which we're going, but it doesn't resolve a fundamental question: why do we live the way we do?

In the long(human timescale) run, this is unsustainable and depressing, it takes away from the ethics and the aesthetics that have made human life what it is, that have brought us to live the way we do.

Any tips on how to handle reading through more technical books?
