This is such a myopic article and "vibecession" is the stupidest term that betrays a deep disconnect from reality.

The 2020's economy across the board is objectively down the shitter because wealth is too concentrated at the top. There is no venture capital for businesses to begin or hire, there is no liquidity or credit to keep headcount.

There are very clear causes for this: stupid governments enacting stupid tariffs and cutting ties to the global economy via destroying strategic partnerships, shutting down migration, and stupid wars that immediately caused the global economy to nosedive.

The clearest problem is that the capitalist world is in a negative feedback loop with idiots at the helm. Without wealth circulation, there is no consumer economy and everything falls apart.

I'm so excited about this, but the fact that Google's behind it has me worried. Android XR will be ditched 1-2 years after release

Angular is the way to go! Larger projects that multiple people maintain should use opinionated, well-structured JS frameworks.

As an American, plastic waste is the last thing on my mind in 2024

I'm a fellow Crohnie.

Crohn's disease is a long, exhausting disease. I hope we see a cure in our lifetime.

The layoffs are due to an increase in interest rates

If they create precedent, let's do Fox News next. Murdochs shouldn't control so much of our media.
