I don't know what this is suppose to say outside of big tech needing a massive amount of regulations and taxations to reign them in.

We need to forgo unions and straight up legislate forms of workplace democracy. People do not have meaningful control over a massive part of their lives and if democracy is good enough for state governments, it's good enough for private enterprise.

The second they see and talk to you, they know your age...

Yeah, but hopefully you’re face to face by then and can wow them with your expertise and eagerness.

Have you looked into biome? We recently switched at work. It’s fine and fast. If you overly rely on 3rd party plugins it might be hard but it covered our use case fine for a network based react app.

Way less dependencies too.


Even minor styling rule changes would result in a huge PR across our frontend so I tend to avoid any change in tooling. But using old tools is not the end of the world. I only upgrade ESLint because I had to upgrade something else.

Would omitting this commit from git blame solve the issue?

Oh that's a great idea. I forgot about git --ignore-revs

Was there? By 2016 it felt like nearly 80% of frontend development was happening in react. Even startups in central FL in 2015 were all in on react then. That's barely 4ish years from first introduction. That's quite fast in software adoption.


Angular was bigger than react until 2018/19-ish in the enterprisey places I worked at.


Definitely feels more geographically based then. I worked at Humana and Comcast, they were both on the react train by late 2015/2016. This was northeast area.


We need more democratic institutions revolving around tech, too many rich individuals have an extreme amount of control in what technology gets pursued and pushed.


Why would npm care? They're basically a monopoly in the JS world and under the stewardship of a company that doesn't even care when its host nation gets hacked when using their software due to their ineptitude.


These are completely human systems that can be changed any time for any reasons. The current system is achieving exactly what it was designed for: wealth extraction.

There’s no reason why this system has to exist. We can make it better any time we want.


First they sell you the problem, then they sell you the solution.

There is no emphasis on long term planning or prevention.

Everyone is grabbing with both hands.


There’s a huge reason it continues to exist: exorbitant lobbying from the people profiting from the death panels. Almost everyone supports Medicare, but too many have been convinced that Medicare for all is some kind of nefarious communist plot.


Those are their best customers, they spend money and ask no questions.


The US is usually a hot bed of experimentation in corporate malfeasance.


As an American, it's funny how ahead and "first world" the US can be in some things, but how backwards and "developing country" the US can be in other things.

Medicine itself is very first-world. But medical insurance is one of those "worse than developing country" things. The fact that Americans need medical insurance at all is appalling to many countries, first world and otherwise.

And of course, by funny I mean "I can only laugh otherwise I'd cry"


Which things are the US ahead in?


Good question. Technology, for one. Is it the first in technology? Probably not. But when comparing first world countries with developing countries, technology is where the US's economic output is.

And also military, though I'm not sure if that's something to be proud of.
