is there an decentralized org to ensure that all of the js css we use today remain backward compatible decades from now? or are we just at the whim of these browser vendors?

Nice! I built something similar yesterday. But decided to use elysia instead. They have a tRPC like client with full TS support called eden.
The main draw for me with elysia was that it maintains bun's perf benefits unlike express. When I got into the weeds of the documentation, their abstractions could use a lot of polish. The lifecycle of a request is not that clear imo and all the hooks you put into it look like hacks rather than integrations.

I once sat down to calculate the costs of my app if it ever went viral being hosted at vercel. That has put me off on hosting anything on vercel ever or even touching NextJS. It feels like total vendor lock in once you have something running there, and you're kind of end up paying them 10x more than if you had taken the extra time to deploy it yourself.
i also do the sit down a calculate exercise. i always end up down a rabbit hole of how to make a viral site as cheaply as possible. always ends up in the same place: redis, sqlite, SSE, on suspended fly machines, and a CDN.
solo leveling no contest

Adding an anecdote I'm one of those newcomers having rediscovered rails a few months ago after all the buzz around version 8.
I just got done porting https://www.skatevideosite.com (and our custom admin panel) from sveltekit/fastapi to Rails and I'm stoked on the results so far.
I need to write up my experience about the rewrite, having a blast so far.
wow this is the first i've seen someone port from sveltkit to rails. can't wait to read that writeup

I read something about Go - that very unusual (maybe even considered bad) playing could beat the super-AIs. They are so tuned to opponents in a "typical" style, that they don't know how to beat a player outside this distribution.
Maybe an NBA team will come up with something like that.
i forgot what year but the year the spurs won the championship against lebron would be unusual today. tons of passing not necessarily for the 3 but to just dislodge the defense enough for a guaranteed bucket

Rails 8 will by default use the DB for cache, queues and WebSocket broadcasting - https://fly.io/ruby-dispatch/the-plan-for-rails-8/
though, sqlite will not be used for the websocket broadcasting
i don’t think there’s any other input type you can apply the one million schtick to except color. i was thinking of squared shaped browser native color pickers on a 1000x1000 or 10k x 100 non responsive grid. but after seeing the infra and bandwidth costs from the guy who did checkboxes i don’t think my stack of choice could keep up (RoR) i was really looking forward to utilizing fly’s pause/resume feature
I'm impressed a single individual got to 600K MRR by himself. Only a few people can say that they've done that. Who knows when shopify would've taken their checkout experience seriously were it not for this guy. you can have interesting experience, build temporary things, be proud of it, and move on to the next thing.
