Which aggregate?

The aggregate for one person or for the world as a whole?

You said:

No, we pay less for it. But there's much higher demand so overall use goes up.

This is economics 101, not a paradox.

To clarify how I read you: "If the price goes down, more people will want to buy, hence more units are sold"

The paradox is that _one_ person, or entity, pays more as the price goes down.

Right. That is not a paradox as stated.

The paradox would be:

  * a TV used to be really expensive. So a home just had one

  * over time TVs become half the price.

  * now a home has 3 TVs, i.e paying 150% of what they initially payed.

Should the paradox not be that we PAY more for it? Or, if some process is made more effective, i.e. takes shorter time, we spend more time in that process.

No. I am not saying that it is a bad idea to do this.

I am saying:

Given you have saved two hours per person per week

Then the value for the company is _not_ equal to two hourly salaries per week. The consequences are just not that simple.

If a test suite runs for either 6 minutes or 66 seconds I am not staring at it while it runs. I am doing something else. So that is not holding up my time

Yes. You work 2 hours less, but what do you produce in those two extra hours? Can you say that your company now spends X dollars less or earns X dollars more? I don't think it can be that clear.

One interesting factor that I rarely see discussed is this: Let's say a DevOps person does some improvement to internal tooling and a task that devs had to oversee manually now is automated. Every dev spent about 2 hours per week doing this task and now they don't have to anymore. Now, have we saved 2 hours of salary per dev per week?

Not sure. Because it totally depends on what they do instead. Are they utilizing two hours more every week now doing meaningful work? Or are they just taking things a bit more easy? Very hard to determine and it just makes it harder to reason about the costs and wins in these cases.

Can I get this on mobile?

2014: I made a new javascript framework!

2022: I made a new AI image generator!

The headline says "AlpineJS – Lightweight JavaScript Framework".

I can't take a project described as a "JavaScript framework" serious these days. A framework for _what_? Many things are done with JS nowadays.

Modules that are part of your build, tests and npm scripts should be installed locally so that any contributor can run npm install/yarn and the develop your project without any other need and they will also get the correct version of the module.

Global installs are for modules that are outside your projects dev cycle. With that in mind, a module such as nodemon can be installed both globally and locally. It depends on the use case.

Sounds interesting. I'll report on my results here once I have uploaded my otherwise end to end encrypted private and personal conversations into this unknown script...

I do event sourcing in my company and we had a look at this when we started out 4 years ago. What I don't understand is why build a database? Why not build something in the application layer that uses your fav database as a storage mechanism instead? Aren't the existing databases more mature and better to use?

I could not throw anything together of this quality. If I were to create a product by myself, using one of the ones available would certainly be a step up.

I cannot respect a TDD guide that is dependent on your editor. Doing tdd is about code structure and implementations decisions imho. If you need to check some box in a dialog window of a certain editor in order to run your tests, your test runner isn't good enough.
