I agreed with the headline but now I think about it lots of interesting and or funny stuff too. Look at HN as an example.

I started, I just didn't have the time and realized my blog was **. Looking around most other blogs are equally bad. There are some good writers out ther but the majority of tech people aren't.
I have a strange take - I think Typescript types are better most other languages, including Java, C++ and Go. It's strange since TypeScript is adding types to a weakly typed language.
If we could push JavaScript performance to be another order of magnitude faster it wouldn't be necessary to use other languages, imho. Of course, pushing it that far without effectively creating a new one would be difficult, to say the least.
I agree TS is great. Not really multi threaded kills it for me though.
I think education goal for people shifted. I teach my kids to be flexible and embrace the change. Invest in abilities that transfer well to various things you could be doing during your life. Be a problem solver.
In the future -- forget about cosy job you can be doing for the rest of your life. You no longer have any guarantees even if you own the business and even if you are farmer.
What you absolutely don't want is spend X years at uni learning something, and then 5-10 years into your "career" finding out it was obsoleted overnight and you now don't have plan B.
Liberal arts education will one day be back in fashion.

Can I forget about reactive programming now? Its been fashionable for the last 5+ years, I hate it. Kinda cool to play around with but just seems to double the complexity on everything.

It's a lot easier to split $1M between four banks than to split $300M between 1200.
Side note: what HOA needs more than $250K in reserves? I'm all for a rainy day fund but I'd be asking for a reduction in dues...
Our HOA has upcoming $1.5mil bill coming for a big job.

The problem with all these banks disappearing is that there are continuously fewer and fewer choices left. Eventually there will be a handful of megabanks and nothing else. I guess this is happening in every industry these days.

Inquery co-founder here. Glad to hear the idea resonates with you! Do you usually just run these command in a local IDE? Would you prefer our solution be a local application or a self-hosted container in your VPC accessible through your web browser?
In the past I've done a few different ways but now I see strict infosec rules, That part is more important than where it runs. eg My last job we had a workflow where you needed a ticket approved by second eyes, which used CyberArk to create a new remote desktop running a DB IDE where you could do your business. Commands were tracked but no real restriction..
New firm you get your personal account temporary RW permissions via a centralized service.

Its something every support desk should have. I often write my own tools like this. Ideally write a select query, execute it, note how many rows it selets, copy the where clause, start transaction, update using the where clause, execute, check rowcount matches what you selected earlier, commit trans.
