I'm on the opposite side of this. With LLMs, I no longer feel the need to use crazy frontend frameworks and abstractions. I'm back to building static HTML with minimal JS (and ideally no build step). Instead of using Tauri/Wails for GUI apps, I just use Swift.

I no longer try to build everything around my choice of language.

Great frameworks have great CLI tooling and just work. Be opinionated and consistent. The fact that this supports multiple frontends and multiple runtimes is a hard no for me, already know that it's going to be a massive headache to debug.

I appreciate having an opinion vs a bunch of safe words saying nothing. Most CEO communication probably isn't even written by them and has a person-less touch.

It's totally fine to get a negative reaction and avoid the project. It's called having human emotions, which is actually healthy. Getting feedback is how you learn and grow as a person.

Why does early education need to be productive? At that age, I'd much rather my kids learn life skills, socialize, play, etc than any kind of "curriculum" learning.

There are a lot of studies showing that emotional intelligence is a better predictor of happiness than early academics.

They'll have plenty of time to be addicated to screens later on in life /s

Sorry, but 5 year olds don't need a tutor, let alone solo screen time. If you're giving your young child screen time, it should be with a parent, and then you might as well spend it offline.

IMO, tutoring is for when a kid is behind in curriculum and you don't see that until late grade school, if not middle school.

Or you could do some of your own troubleshooting? Uploading a git repo is different than uploading a zipped/folder, especially if your index.htm/l isn't at the root.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Servers cost money.

Users pay for it with their privacy/data. Intrusive ads. Dark patterns.

The increasing eyeballs on screen time is a net negative for society. I would say consuming content should come with some friction.

My screentime would drastically decrease if even it was partial cents per video.

IMO, the wind turbine is way too complex to be actually useful. It's definitely not reproducible for $30 unless you have access to a junkyard.

The power drill required for it isn't especially low tech. A cheap used solar panel is a better solution in 95% of situations.

Communication is key. Think about a restaurant high in demand. There is implied communication that the initial experience might not be great in A) lines out the door, B) reservations are days/months out.

Once you're in the door, service should be good/great.

All companies have to do is just be more transparent. Ie, we have a backlog of 1000 applicants. Or just give a time expectation for the resume to be reviewed.

Ghosting people who've "gotten in the door" and spent a considerable of time interviewing is extremely disrespectful.

Skipping testing on 15% of all devices to save $600? Sounds like a poor business decision.

What is the standard way? There are details which requires having a conversation and a relationship.

I certainly don't want a service to come early morning and wake up my kids or in the afternoon polluting the whole neighborhood with noise and fumes when I want to spend time outside.

I like shortcat, but it's slow, even on a modern Mac.

Also, I'm not sure the dynamic nature of the hotkeys is a good thing. I could imagine if you use Mouseless for a long period of time, muscle memory might prevail as screen locations map to the same set of keys.

It's not an attitude, it's an opinion that comes from experience. Operational burden/overhead is a real thing. Just like knowing that German cars will cost $$$ in maintenance. It doesn't mean I shouldn't drive.
