I recently wasted so much time switching something my JavaScript app uses because "it's what the community is moving to".
How much my users care: 0
No one told me to upgrade my app's deps. I didn't spend enough time asking myself if this would improve customers' experience.
Meanwhile, I haven't written any Go for 6 weeks but I can bet you nothing new has happened there.
@Elliot_K_Hudson Hello! Are you the author of The Foundations of Cruelty in the Quake Brutalist Map Jam? If so, I've been searching for forever to find 7/7 secrets. Only one left to find. Do you remember where those are?

When Node.JS arrived, one of the main advantages was to never need to bootstrap JS or modules each time, hence win in performance.

My yoga teacher always starts class with this line:
"Congrats. The hardest part is over. You showed up."
I feel like that mindset applies to most other things.
Worrying about a task often is far worse than the task itself. Starting is the hardest part.

I love this time of year where for work I read essays by HS Seniors who have applied for college scholarships. I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but there are bright, compassionate, hopeful, and engaged kids out there who want to make the world a better place. – at Milwaukee, WI

In Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, “The Attack by Fire” is not a “Be like water” metaphor; it is actually about setting your enemies’ stuff on fire.
I remember a time when @ChessBase was at the forefront of computer chess innovation. Now they're resorting to copying other people's work and passing it off as their own. Sad to see. :( lichess.org/blog/YCvy7xMAACI…
