Readit NewsPeople are sick of it not just because it's "irrelevant*, but we're tired of being sold to every waking moment.
I am still sad at how this spammy article about spam has so many upvotes on HN.
If I subscribe to a magazine or a streaming service, I continually get new content. Apps that aren't doing that are basically price gouging customers.
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'd recommend anyone who'd be interested in "Rails, but in TS" to give it a go.
It feels much more similar to rails (or Laravel) than the most popular TS stacks, and also has "batteries included" instead of leaving you to decide on every part of your stack (or trust a template from a third party).
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.
This is more idiomatic than grammatical. It's the same in Spanish. In English we don't have this sort of idiom, so that phrase doesn't translate very well.
Learning how to be emotionally vulnerable is key to actually connecting with people. The book "Models" by Mark Manson is a pretty good primer on the importance of emotional vulnerability to connect with people. It is sort-of a dating advice book, but I've found it helpful for making regular friendships and connecting with my own family as well.
Another thing that is helpful is learning how to communicate assertively- which is the opposite of being emotionally manipulative. The book "When I say no I feel guilty" is particularly good introduction to assertive communication. A lot of people only learned emotionally manipulative communication, and will be avoided by almost anyone that sees that for what it is.
Counter-intuitively, not being desperate is critical. Be willing to judge if someone is worth your time, and be willing to disagree with people or say no, without letting the fear of being rejected control you. The same authenticity and vulnerability that will make people really connect with you, will also drive some people away, and that is totally fine. The goal is not to be friends with everyone, but to make good friends with people you are compatible with.
Therapy can often be helpful for developing all 3 of the above skills.
Lastly, take the initiative to make things happen. Invite someone to do activities several times before expecting them to reciprocate. People tend to be busy, shy, stressed, etc. - just because people don't reach out doesn't mean they don't like you.
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.
Just uninstall the social apps and/or turn off notifications if you are easily distracted. It's not rocket science (which incidentally you can learn on a phone if you wanted)
