I am feeling old reading the phrase "traditional frameworks" as a reference to SPA/Virtual DOM frameworks all while the actual traditional frameworks like Backbone, jQuery, etc. actually worked the way described in the blogpost.

I've actually just did exactly that a few weeks ago.

I knew what to expect from Rails from my previous experience.

Yet, I wasn't prepared for how freaking fast it is to iterate with Rails and some LLM (I use Cursor atm) when you know what you are doing.

The MVP I expected to take at least 2 months to finish, is going to be done in under 3 weeks, with the current speed, given there are no large blockers.

I run one blog on Jekyll[0], another on Hugo[1]. I must admit, Hugo somehow feels much more flexible and fast.

Not true.

Hearing Ukrainian for the first time, if you're Russian, sounds like you're hearing a Russian dialect you never heard before but understand 90% of, bar some words you've never heard. The languages are that close.

Polish, otoh, would baffle a Russian at first, you'd grasp quite a bit but you know you're hearing a foreign language, Slavic but foreign.

There is a bigger lexical distance between UA and RU than between UA and PL: https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/a-map-of-lexical-distances...
