Maybe .1% was a bad choice, should we only post articles that are relevant to people on a global average yearly wage of ~$12,000? How are we defining relevant? People earning $2000/year might be /interested/ in a thing, but not able to afford it (eg. a Mac computer or a large hadron collider), where do we draw the line?

Hi, I'm Will Jessop, currently the now part time CTO of Impactive looking for new opportunities in Rails application scaling and performance or technical leadership. Technically I have a huge amount of experience in scaling and optimising Ruby on Rails applications, Postgres database performance and scalable application architecture. I also have a lot of experience managing a team of 19 people, mostly engineers. I'm product focussed, and among other successes re-orged the product pipeline at Impactive to improve delivery reliability and quality outcomes, while drastically improving staff morale.https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/2019/12/16/episode-9-...
go mod is the second best I've used for sure, but if someone releaed bundler-but-for-go I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.
I can see it now:

It's not feasible to plan for every possible freak occurrence, an accident like this is only possible after a long list of other safety procedures have failed (as is often the case for aviation).
Planes sometimes overshoot the runway, building an unecessary wall at the end of it might comply with a standard, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
While small pasta shapes are relatively easy to stir such that they break contact with anything nearby right from the beginning, long pasta tends to move together when stirring until they’ve softened - at which point they’ve already started sticking together.
You can try to stir it so that the pasta isn’t all running parallel before it softens, but then you get ends start sticking out of the water until it softens more, leading to uneven cooking.
For long pastas, I’ve found using more water and just adding a little flour while cooking to be a lot easier.
I'm not talking about this from a technical standpoint, though there are many reasons that in most cases this is the best technological fit.
I'm talking about this from the position of "what I want to use". I'm sick of loading and navigting overly JS heavy, overly styled, fragile "apps". When I encounter a "proper" website that loads fast, and I can understand easily it's like a breath of fresh air.
