The advice I'm most scared not to follow as I get older: don't dismiss everything that the younger generations say or do as being just a trend, and learn more about it.

Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.

I don't mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn't technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.

Rust, because I'm lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.

Two days ago, I wouldn't have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations...

That's what I do all the time, and not on purpose. I don't know what's wrong with me

I use main because, although I never heard of anybody actually getting offended by master, it costs me nothing to use main instead. Also it looks prettier and seems to be the new convention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If somebody asked you to bring hot dogs and tacos to a party, the host would probably not be just as fine with you bringing only tacos or only hot dogs.

My Canadian bank just charged me $45 CAD twice and only noticed me a day after the second charge. I didn't notice because I no longer use it. I wish the limit was $3...

Co-pilot can write some small very simple functions for me, sometimes saving me the need to look at documentation. It will still often fail at those, in my experience, and will consistently fail at anything more complex.

It will get better, but currently it's only a small help.

I'd honestly choose a similar stack for the back-end. I have limited experience with Rust, but my impressions so far is that it's a language that allows you to make changes with confidence that they'll work. I feel like starting something in Rust is somewhat difficult, but contributing is relatively simple.

For the front-end, I don't think the choice is as important, since I think that by virtue of being federated and being able to have multiple front-ends, it would almost be better for the front-end to be managed by other parts of the community. And I say that as a primarily front-end/developer-experience dev.

I would probably default to React since I'm familiar with it and it's very popular, but would probably be tempted to experiment with something better.

Great to know this was a bug. It felt a tad immersion breaking for every origin character to be so interested all of a sudden.

I love both proprietary software and open source software, and personally I kinda like this warning.

How much of a concern it is for software's code to be proprietary, is probably personal opinion. For this reason, maybe yellow is a bit too much? I think making these errors grayscale might be a good middle ground.
