  • This was pointed out a few years ago, using comparisons from the js framework wars, and the js tooling wars.

    To gain adoption, they need to do things better by a multiplier. Why is Vite the standard now? Because gulp was doing too much, and webpack was a complex mess. Vite is so fast, lightweight, and works.

    Node and the Node contributors are taking every single idea Deno has and implementing them faster and better.

    Deno is a nice idea, but it’s getting their lunch eaten.





  • I’m a programmer and I make a pretty decent salary, enough to support my family and weather any emergencies.

    The free time I have, I would do these in this order:

    1. Hang out with my wife and kids
    2. Chill out with recreational things like gaming
    3. Continue to study, read books and take online courses, contribute to open-source and build applications for startups
    4. Convert that free time to $100/hr

    Notice that trying to make MORE money is at the bottom for me.

    And if you ARE money driven, working hourly isn’t how most people became rich. They usually win the lottery by doing a hobby that ended up paying dividends. Like building a app and getting bought out, or collecting Pokemon cards or something.


  • People underestimate how much work is involved with anything involving selling online content. This isn’t just Only fans.

    But if it’s an hour of work to make $100, why wouldn’t I?

    There are people giving plasma for money.

    There are people jacking off animals for money.

    There are people who spend hours scamming old people for money.

    Time is a investment though. Unfortunately $100 a hour is not the best use of my time. But maybe it is for you and your situation.






  • Who is to say that Snopes was the gold standard?

    On August 13, 2021, BuzzFeed News published an investigation by reporter Dean Sterling Jones that showed David Mikkelson had used plagiarized material from different news sources in 54 articles between 2015 and 2019 in an effort to increase website traffic.[

    The shareholder that became a CEO had owned a huge chunk of snopes for years. They just made it official.
