I get your point, but if there's no space for critique we wouldn't have any improvements ever.

That someone else has it worse doesn't make it invalid.

If you don't mind the feedback, I get the point of your post but you came out pretty aggressive very often. "This is horrible", "wtf is this", "this is awful" are not useful.

Here's a link to the repository: https://github.com/pablasso/chelodina

If you like this kind of content I heavily recommend Halt and Catch Fire. It's fiction on the personal computing business of the 80s, online gaming/communities and the race for search engines and browsers in the 90s . It makes a lot of nudges to current industry leaders.

HaCF is one of my favorite shows! It's not very technically accurate, but it's still really good at portraying the social aspects of being a technological optimist at the dawn of the age of personal computing and the web.

Is there anywhere to get an HD Box Set of that show yet?

Season 1 came out on Blu Ray in the US

Season 2 came out on Blu Ray in the EU (by some 3rd party company, apparently?)

Seasons 3 and 4 however are completely absent from any high quality physical media releases

That library reminded me of Newgrounds. Back in the day, it was a treat to go through all the games to discover gems but I don't have the patience anymore.

You will be losing the audience though

I tend to do that but is super draining. I could spend hours and then look back at it and get depressed because I didn't do as much as I expected.

And at the end I'm still as tired as if I worked 100% focused on something, I try to avoid this as much as possible.

So now that Amazon is a bigger threat in the ads space, Facebook enters e-commerce. It's going to be an uphill battle if they want to catch up anytime soon.

Amazon does not create intent well. I go to Amazon when I want to buy a particular item. Instagram's shopping app may be able to create intent.

My preference is for Unix and its ecosystem. I was a long time user of Gentoo, then Debian, then Ubuntu. On Gentoo I was more than happy to install everything from source and to optimize to my hardware where possible. I moved eventually to more user-friendly solutions (hence Ubuntu) as my work obligations grew because I couldn't afford anymore to waste half a day just fixing up an update in xorg/pulseaudio/whatever.

MacOS is pretty much the ultimate Unix environment where everything just works. You may not get as good package managers like Portage, but MacOS usually has a good enough solution like MacPorts back then or Homebrew now.

OS Updates while sometimes may have hiccups here and there (like the migration from GCC to Clang) it's usually painless with me only having to tweak a couple of settings here and there in my day to day tooling, like tmux. In Linux I expected it to break something major and actually scheduled at least a day to fix it.

In summary, I like Unix and I just want to focus on work.

Does anyone have an opinion on how Laravel compares to Django or Rails?
