Feels so fresh to hear their CEO talk so openly and transparently of all the flaws their products still have. Sounds like he's someone very fun to work with.

Ask your grandparents about "Die große Dürre 1947" in Germany. Near entirely dried-up rivers and reservoirs, lakes three meters below normal, roughly half a million cattle emergency-slaughtered in Bavaria, hydroelectric shutdowns forcing power rationing, and forest fires along the Bavarian–Austrian border. Sure we have an all time high now, but currently there's still too much water as one could stick their head into the soil of the Elbe and Rhine.

Being proud of your culture including your language and exercising it, at the risk of readers not understanding everything immediately, is not racism. In the worst case, a non-British gets curious about one expression or the other and looks it up. That's engagement.

Why self-censoring for using "hate" when it gets the message across quickly? Everyone understands that we use "hate" and "love" with huge levels of nuances. I personally said today to a colleague "I hate working from home" but it's clear that I'm not a racist against people who "love" remote work. We do work with a very lax work-from-philosophy.

Talking about coding websites: I'm a seasoned dev who loves to be in control of the website code, but hates debugging nitty gritty layouting issues, which steal tons of time and attention. I want to progress fast building great landing websites for my tech products, with the same speed that I code the products themselves. What stacks and LLM tools (if any) do you recommend that help writing great looking websites with great SEO support... fast?

I use the Python package 'sorcery' [0] in all my production services.

It gives dict unpacking but also a shorthand dict creation like this:

    from sorcery import dict_of, unpack_keys
    a, b = unpack_keys({'a': 1, 'b': 42})
    assert a == 1
    assert b == 42
    assert dict_of(a, b) == {'a': 1, 'b': 42}

Before coding on the actual problem I usually start with a tiny refactoring of something that's related. That's my warming up sports before tackling the actual exercise. Works 100% for me.
