Eventually, humans are going to get used to the constant spam and start mentally tuning out these hyper personalized initiatives.

haven't we already been doing this since email templating was a thing?

i share some of this sentiment as well and i think a lot of my hesitance is that these solutions seem born of the popularity of rust. we have had c and c++ for as long as javascript has been a full-stack workhorse. is it just the barrier of entry / novelty of rust has prompted longtime js devs to make the leap into building tooling? along with it, it seems the "new framework every week" jab at javascript can be applied to the build system as well. in any case, i welcome the speed improvements and this certainly does not preclude me from using these new tools where i'm able.

in a world where iOS users won't install another free app from the app store because they already use iMessage, matrix is like asking for your friends to perform calculus just to talk to you.

this seems like great for rapid prototyping for those that are already well-versed in rust and really really hate javascript.

i completely agree. use the right tool for the job. if you need significantly dynamic content, you should consider another framework such as rails (as the author indicates).

if netlify is being portrayed as the only platform to deploy a statically generated site from git commit, then i suppose yes, the sane defaults of these frameworks are not the right tool _for you_.

it is very sad. i personally would much rather someone walks through their problem solving approach and identifies shortcomings/edge cases than to regurgitate a memorized algorithm.

it's really easy to identify code that is not optimal at code review time. it is far more challenging to have a conversation with a algorithm-regurgitating robot that their entire approach was wrong because they misunderstood the abstraction or that their code wasn't needed because Larry is refactoring that part of the system to a separate service already.

i think TDD is a great method, but not dogma. likewise with code coverage. being prescriptive about one or the other just leads to angry people who get fed up with the principle and rebel.

don't know much about fly.io, but i would have definitely deployed my go binary + caddy w/config in a container, rather than setup a systemd service on the host. just me?

same experience here but am a pixel person, not samsung. why is the notification experience on iOS so bad? it feels like doing chores.

i figure system settings are annoying because the default is good enough for most users.
