If you do want to go the web route, I'd highly recommend avoiding SPAs and going with https://htmx.org/ instead. Much simpler, less code, entirely driven by your backend, while still giving you the ability to make nice interactive applications.

As a bonus, since you presumably have been working with Python anyway, the author of htmx has a whole book online walking you through building an app using htmx and Flask, a web framework for Python: https://hypermedia.systems/book/contents/

It's been massively effective and has put them on the defensive in a way no other criticism ever has.

It really has nothing to do with whether or not they can have sex. That's just a pretense for really fucked up ideas about sex, relationships, and women as a whole.

Every day pretty much with Unix tools. Vim, awk, sed, etc.

I used to work for a company that made software built on VMware. The biggest customer was using hundreds of thousands of VMs. Pretty sure they're working on moving off VMware now because of all this bullshit.

But yeah, it's gonna take a long time to move off.

Haskell. It's a fantastic language for writing your usual run of the mill DB-backed web APIs (and a bunch of other stuff like compilers, data processing, CLIs, even scripting) and can do a lot of things that other languages simply can't (obviously not in terms of computation, but in terms of what's possible with the type system).

I've been writing it professionally for a while and am very happy with it. Would be nice if the job market for it was a bit broader. You can definitely get jobs doing it, you just don't have quite as broad of a pool to choose from.

The software is pretty overrated. Especially safari, which is a legitimately terrible browser and has been for a long time.

You can abhor trump will simultaneously thinking that there's genocide happening that Biden is supporting. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Haskell being so high really doesn't make any sense. Experience level maybe?

It's one of the tersest languages out there.

My company has been full remote since before the pandemic. It's been fantastic. I hang out and chat with my coworkers all the time in Slack huddles. We have a remote-first culture and it's far better than an office ever was.

If you're getting depressed from working at home, tbh that sounds to me like you live to work rather than work to live. It's important to have a rich life outside of work, especially when working remotely.

I'm in the US. Never used Whatsapp in my life, and don't know anyone that does. I just text people. It would be weird if someone tried to get me to use WhatsApp and tbh I'd probably just say no.

At work we use Slack and Google Meet.
