Recently, the writing-by-hand vs typing debate has been getting some more press, with people saying that pen and paper leads to better retention while note taking. Could reading have similar differences between methods?

That's not quite what I meant. I mean they only get paid if you make money.

Some businesses try to make money by trying to make their clients money.

It’s nice of you to consider the wellbeing of other users, but I think every adult has the right to make their own decisions about how to spend their money.

If it’s not a price you’re willing to pay, that’s fine. But if someone else gets value out of it and thinks it’s a fair trade, that’s between them and the app creator.

I've been curious about AdonisJS, and I think I'll give it a try thanks to your comment.

Recently, I've been fascinated by the "batteries included" back end frameworks of Rails, Laravel, and Django, but I've written TypeScript for pretty much my entire career, and it's just easier to keep it that way than to switch now.

What are your thoughts so far in your testing? Could you compare it to any of those other frameworks I mentioned?

Full stack developer with 6 years of experience. I love anything to do with application development, but I'm particularly interested in building MVPs and developing internal tools for small businesses.

Slightly off topic, but does “techbro” mean anything other than “male that I don’t like who works with computers”? I feel like it initially had a real meaning, but now it’s kind of a catch all term.

How would that be phrased in Spanish? Are you talking about the future tense in constructions like "Será que...?" or "Estará volviendo" to say "he must be returning"?

Not much to add to an already great comment, but I'll emphatically back the recommendation of "Models".

I read that book in my early 20s so that I could have better relationships with women, but what I got from that book were lessons on living a good and authentic life. Easily the most influential book I've ever read.

What does the $50 get you with Obsidian? I don’t pay, and I’m able to access my notes from my desktop and mobile apps.

Professionally, I've mostly worked as a front end engineer, but during that time I learned and practiced back end concepts. This year, I've switched over completely to full stack, and I've been making a number of projects to experiment and improve.

I love working in environments that value strong communication skills.

Try to look at your profile dispassionately. Would you be interested in meeting this person? Does it look like they’re a generally pleasant person to be around? Do they have hobbies? The questions you ask are really determined by what you’re ultimately looking for or find attractive, so my questions might not match yours.

I think part of the point is that you share your defined scale because that helps the other person understand you and your values.

This is interesting. I'm thinking about how I would implement this, and I think I could do it, but I don't really have it clear in my mind. I'm going to have to make a project to practice this with since it does seem quite important to understand. Especially since I want to work in SaaS and eventually start my own micro SaaS. Thanks for your detailed comment.

As someone who stopped drinking last year, the piece seemed a bit…dramatic.

I’m with you, I’ve felt great since I’ve stopped.

> Be careful with debt. The reason so many people in the western world go to work everyday is because they get the debt, then have to work to pay it off. Go to a country where debt isn't really possible because the economy can't support it (Argentina, Mexico, Mali, Angola, etc.) and you'll see everyone has TONS of time to live the life they want.

Been living in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a year and a half now, and this is exactly what I've seen. This explanation makes sense. I always chalked it up to socializing being a much more important part of the culture than in the US.

> Even Gavin McInness says you're wrong here.

Could you link to the quote where he says this? The article claims he said it, but I couldn’t find the quote.

Probably depends on the accent you have. I'm from the US, and the way I say 'banana' doesn't rhyme with mañana, but I can imagine my English friends saying it, which would rhyme.

> I think this is going a bit too far. Sometimes it's perfectly legitimate to serve an ideological need, because there's enough people with that particular ideology.

The author would probably agree.

> Or they’re only better ideologically, and in that case, only valuable to those who share the same ideology. Which is fine if the market for that ideology is big.

> Before giving up on these apps I actually tried what happens to be the OP’s main recommendation: I wrote in my profile “If you are not interested in a friendly respectful chat starting with a simple ‘Hi’ please swipe no”. Unsurprisingly it didn’t work…

I find that it's better to mention what you do want rather than what you don't want. People seem to respond better to positivity than negativity.
