After a 2022 mass shooting, Adams opined that society leaves parents of troubled teenage boys with only two options: to either watch people die or murder their own son.

That's something.

Fully agree.

People call "bloat" the features they don't need, and "deal breakers" the lack of features they want besides good text editing.

You call all these products launches from google "internal innovation competitions"?

And even if they were, which they aren't, are you sure it's a "common business practice"? How many companies can afford that.

That's not the point I was trying to make. You believe that almost all people who have issue with the law do so because of porn addiction. You haven't shown any data, it's just your belief, from which you're informing and repeating your world view as fact.

I remember seeing Mint quite a few years ago. I love the idea, I really like the language design, but I agree 100% with your take on the drawback. It's hard to sell that to teams.

What's surprising to me is how many alternatives exist in this space. Between elm, imba, svelte, and mint, and probably more that I don't know about, I wonder how many devs in the world are shipping to prod using them.

edit: have you thought about including Form Validation to the core lib?

I disagree completely with that, at least for software engineers.

The work queue is infinite, measuring output with any sort of precision is almost impossible for a lot of the work (maintenance, actually necessary refactors, security, mentoring juniors, managing stakeholders, etc etc etc). There's no "I've finished my work for today".

I'm not saying that I like it, or that it's a good thing, but in my understanding engineers are paid to be available doing work roughly 40h/week.

If a portion of the team is remote, then the whole "remote team" apparatus and culture are necessary. Same with hybrid offices in which the WFH days are random instead of set for everyone.

I fully understand that this is a polarized personal preference issue. I don't think there's a way to make both work in the same company.

Maybe you're correct about windows vs macos, but I find it hard to believe that the current distribution of android vs iphone users in the world is much different for musicians.
