Anything but this image (imgbb.com link below) requires a login. I get the same deal with Facebook. I am not Don Quixote and prefer not to march into hell for a heavenly cause, nor any other.

Tesla could complete with BYD if they weren't slipping into a global political crisis while simultaneously manufacturing vehicles that remain unaffordable to the majority of buyers.
Pulling a $19k Model 3 (delivered) out of the air is the only solution I can see. Musk will be forced to step aside if the sales continue to slip into Q3. They certainly will lose money on each delivery, but they will survive until the robocar tier is ready.
The robocar is bunk.

HN is not real world, just like how Reddit is not real world.
I am a FE with 10 years of experience, and has tried, and tried really really hard and multiple attempts to make HTMX works well.
Doesn’t work. UX is much worse, code discoverability is much worse, slower to code in, everything is messier than just plain React SPA with JSON data. Terrible, terrible DX and UX.
Seriously, there is a reason why despite all the rage in going back to multi page Django/Rails app, very very few people actually take it seriously. You just don’t hear the negativity because most folks just tried it, saw that it is worse, and moved on without writing a blog post.
I'm a freelance webdev with 15 years of experience, and recently I've made some new projects with Symfony Stimulus & Turbo to great success.
A few thoughts:
I tried just htmx too, too limiting. Stimulus/Turbo combination is much better.
Use the right tool for the job. Highly interactive app, like an editor? Use react or similar js framework. Mostly page/document website? A backend framework is much faster and easier to develop, and much simpler to test.
Use what you know yada yada.
I know CSS quite well, as I've been working with it over 15 years. I've been surprised that new programmers hardly know it at all, and heavily lean on component libraries or css frameworks.
Can see why though, css has become very large and complex, and it's only getting worse.
The upside is that my simple fixes sometimes seem like a superpower to others.
Do you think that Iran would do any better given the opportunity? The very fact that you where able to freely learn of these attrocities commited committed by your own leaders, is only due to you living in a democratic country. Where you to live in Iran, or China, Russia or any other dictatorship for that matter, the situation would be very different.
No one should deny that that is plenty wrong with the western world and it's actions, but to suggest that a totalitarian regime, that engages in suppression of women and gruesome violence against protestors, is somehow equal or even superior is just plain wrong.
which might be the end goal - the internet, with freedom of communication, is a way that the plebs can organize and resist authoritarianism. And as countries are growing increasingly authoritarian (and i include UK here), they may be planning on preventing the old free internet that has enabled so much.
So as technologists here at HN, there needs to be a pre-emptive strike to prevent such an outcome from becoming successful. I would have said TOR, but for most people it's a non-starter. What other options are there?
