Oh, I thought it was the CEO’s online reputation and the fact the people are hearing more and more that their after sales service is shit, eg being charged £17000 for a new motor which is apparently the driver’s fault for driving it in the rain. In Scotland.

Apparently the problem has been known for some time:

Idiots.
I don’t know who you are, or what you write, but thank you.

In his notes, Roszak wrote that Google’s search advertising “is one of the world’s greatest business models ever created” with economics that only certain “illicit businesses” selling “cigarettes or drugs” “could rival.”
…
Beyond likening Google’s search advertising business to illicit drug markets, Roszak’s notes also said that because users got hooked on Google’s search engine, Google was able to “mostly ignore the demand side” of “fundamental laws of economics” and “only focus on the supply side of advertisers, ad formats, and sales.” This was likely the bit that actually interested the DOJ.
Elm (for frontend). https://elm-lang.org/
Nothing is as easy to refactor, maintain, add new features to, work with after a gap, nothing else is as crashless and rock solid.
No compiler is a fast, friendly, helpful and insightful. Seriously. You don’t wait for the compiler. It’s instant even on huge code bases. And the resulting output outperforms other major frameworks.
Its syntax is weird at first (even stranger than python) and the autoformatter is mad keen on blank lines but after a while it’s just so clear and easy to follow.
You have to let go of your object oriented mindset and stop trying to turn everything into objects and components but everything I hated about maintaining old code evaporated once I did. I used to believe that objects detangled code, I don’t know why I continued to believe that despite the evidence, because apart from pretty small and simple things, OO code gets extremely tangled. Elm is absurdly easy to refractor, so you just do.
It’s genuinely nice to add new features to old code, something I’ve never experienced before in a few decades of programming.
The elm slack is also a very helpful place indeed and you usually get a lot of support pretty quickly.
Adding the link to their front page, I see they call it “A delightful language for reliable web applications” and the first claim is “no runtime exceptions”. I remember thinking that was marketing BS but being intrigued by the bold claim. A few years later and I can honestly say that that accurately describes my experience.
These last few years I’ve rediscovered the joy of coding.
DRIVE like your KIDS.
Live here.
You can’t just let it lapse, you have to hunt out that cancellation option three to six pages deep and be determined. Then you need to carefully swerve the highlighted get it fast option and find the free delivery one instead. Don’t get standard delivery, free delivery comes sooner than they claim because whilst the courier isn’t being paid to hurry it, they’re coming to your area soon anyway and may as well.
It’s going to get so much worse.
Besos could easily have the best paid workers, with the best conditions, the best customer service, require delivery that cares, ensure the best quality goods, and still be over a hundred thousand times richer than a millionaire, but he doesn’t. He wants the extra money more. So much power, so much money, so much squeezing the normal folk just a bit harder for a bit more profit.
The chief twit.
Yeah but javascript has 473 popular frameworks and counting, and the churn is immense. Your codebase becomes out of date before you’ve finished writing it.
And the debugging?! I’ll try to finish writing this paragraph despite the uncontrollable twitching. Let’s just say that javascript is the kind of language that looks at your car with a missing left front wheel and says “let’s go”, while your IDE whispers “Yes, but maybe just don’t turn right. Certainly don’t turn right fast, unless you want to of course.”
Ah, thank you I needed that laugh. Sometimes things make me snort or chuckle or “ha”, but that was a proper full laugh, thank you.
Ah, the motif window manager was so cool!
You’re right.
