Do you have a suggestion for a more Rails-esque framework (maybe Django)?


If we were keeping in the JS ecosystem, there’s Redwood [0] which has been around a while*.

[0] https://redwoodjs.com/

* not comparable to Rails or Django’s definition of “a while” but it’s quite mature.


By all means use Django if you specifically want to work in python but otherwise if you really want a Rails-esque framework why not just use full stack Rails?

You get much out of the box with Rails 8 now like deployment, caching, job queue, Hotwire, Turbo Frames and mobile.


I'm wondering if there is another significant variable here. I'd assume there that most of the other countries on the list would also have kids that have youtube and and increased screen times for kids.


Do you mind sharing what note taking app it was? I've heard Scrivener alot.


He was using Evernote and then switched to Google Drive for collaborating with the editor.

I’ve in the past, suggested Obsidian. He is interested in trying it out.


Probably Obsidian. It's popular for this because of the linking ability.


Sure - but imagine someone doesn't have your drive or experiences of studying being an opportunity climb upwards. IMO, individuals that are lacking your desire + intentionality would benefit from this.


> but imagine someone doesn't have your drive

Sometimes, the lack of drive is because it's not something you really want to do.

Caveat: while not super common, in my case the "not having the drive despite being x/y/z good traits" just turned out to be undiagnosed ADHD. Dopamine is strongly linked with willingness to do tasks and is affected in ADHD. Of course this isn't the case for everybody, but if you/someone is chronically late/procrastinates, is very unorganized/messy, struggles to finish tasks etc - it's worth googling executive dysfunction at the very least, and then perhaps talking with your doctor.


Well I started out not being motivated to study, and not knowing how. I had to cobble these skills together as an adult.

Looks like those tickets went fast. :) But looking forward to seeing those talks on YT.


They did go fast! I'll be giving away a few more on Twitter later this week


Wouldn't this be better if we just picked the hour record for running?[1]

Coincidentally it's right at 21km/hr! :)

I tried to find similar distances to compare, but it might have been better like you suggested to compare around similar times. One other thing is that the conditions in an indoor velodrome are pretty ideal vs being in the water, although you also can get currents and wind (although records cannot be certified unless winds are below some threshold I believe)


The half marathon record is 57:31 for 21.1km, so it’s not too far off.

Anecdotally, my whole family has them for digital reading/browsing without the clunkiness of a laptop or the small screen of a phone. Mind you, iPad power users in my family are children or elderly folks who otherwise wouldn't be using a computer.


Usually CTO == Chief Technology Officer, not Chief Technical Officer. But an amusing slip of the tongue that kinda works out! :)


Do you have any details on your decision log? I'm curious what details you add to it. I guess it'd have fields like date, decision made, options considered, and who approved the decision.
