"I have noticed that as I build better landing pages for my MVPs I get judged more harshly"

Can I ask - why do you think you are building a "better" landing page? If you are getting judged more harshly, doesnt that mean your pages are not actually "better"? Maybe as you are building more pages, your subjective opinion of your own designs has changed....

I've seen it a few times on MVPs launched here. Some new YC company and their flashy homepage, but when I browse the homepage I have no idea what the company actually does. The pages are clean, but the actual idea is vague...

I worked (in the US), with a French guy, who had lived in the US for many years (as an adult).

He had very little accent. He had obviously worked very hard to remove the accent (big job), but he still understood English as a secondary language, and sometimes had difficulty comprehending dialogue (especially in New York, where we talk quickly).

People didn’t cut him slack for the lack of comprehension, where I think they would have, if he had a stronger accent.

I also knew an Italian, who had a strong accent, but a better command of English than most native speakers. I think he deliberately played his accent up.

> I've already wasted my entire teens and 20s, current 28 years old

Wasted? Your life is barely starting. My life as a software engineer didn't take off until I was 28, because I wasted too much time at university. And it didn't really start to take off until I was 38 when I started freelancing. I'm 48 now and doing better than ever. And wasting your teens isn't wasting; that's what they're for.

Your only problem seems to be that your entire life seems to revolve only around work. You work too hard and you obsess too much about it. Let it go. Work 40 hours a week, and maybe only after you take a long and well-deserved holiday. Explore your other interests. Develop a hobby. Go sing, bike, travel, dance, paint, read, or build something with your hands instead of your brain.

You're young. Your career is already way better than most people your age. Let some other interests into your life, and you may notice that you'll also continue to grow in your career.

The reverse engineering is certainly interesting, but the article headline seems like a bit of a beat-up since the app has a built in checker where you can scan the QR code shown and validate the details independently (the article does say this, at the end).

They're talking about the fact that recompiling the rustc compiler itself is very complex and resource intentisive.

That may not actually be a problem though, since the current compiler executable is already good enough for almost any project.
These issues are often interactions between packages. I use TRAMP daily without freezing, but only when I disable company mode in shell modes. VSCode certainly requires much less of this tweaking, even with a variety of extensions installed.
Back when I made videos for YouTube, I did a little video on this paradox. I used a pair of cash boxes instead of envelopes because I thought opening boxes looked better on screen than opening an envelope.

Oh, sweet, sweet irony from the British medias. How dare we keep our linguistic identity and not surrender to THEIR language in day to day conversations? I guess they surely would rejoice giving up English and using French if the roles were reversed, wouldn't they?

Interestingly, I've noticed a trend here to use English words or expressions to pimp various meetings, although the terms are often used out of context and act as a decoy to hide some lack of field knowledge, or downright language skills.

Ironically, the more English words they tend to use, the less is their ability to sustain a fluent conversation in English. When I communicate in English at least I try to make an effort not to sprinkle French words everywhere. I also do the same in French, and I'd rather not bastardize the language further.

When my family goes traveling I am the designated “learn enough local language to get by“ person.

I know a little bit of Polish but I speak it with a perfect BBC Polish accent. Worked a long time at it. I noticed that on buses or in restaurants if I told people I didn’t understand Polish they completely ignored me and didn’t simplify their language. I think because I can speak my few words like a native they just filtered out what I was saying.

The same was not true in Paris. I am not convinced I have a great French accent, however.
The wtfs about id and is are not deserved. These operations are not used in normal code and are explicitly implementation defined. I suppose they should have named it __is and __id. I don't see why anyone not hacking the interpreter would care about these though

> Having chosen an envelope at will, but before inspecting it, you are given the chance to switch envelopes. Should you switch?

Normally we would assume there is someone who owns the envelopes of money. Now their incentive could be to offer to switch only if the envelope you chose contains more money (so they have a chance of keeping more). More like Monty Hall.

Even without that, after switching, should you switch back? The equation given argues you should switch back, so obviously the equation must be wrong.

It is easier to think: if I switch I have a 50% chance of making $X and a 50% chance of losing $X. Switching doesn’t change expected $.

I actually think the later problem in the Wikipedia article is more clever:

Two people, equally rich, meet to compare the contents of their wallets. Each is ignorant of the contents of the two wallets. The game is as follows: whoever has the least money receives the contents of the wallet of the other (in the case where the amounts are equal, nothing happens). One of the two men can reason: "I have the amount A in my wallet. That's the maximum that I could lose. If I win (probability 0.5), the amount that I'll have in my possession at the end of the game will be more than 2A. Therefore the game is favourable to me." The other man can reason in exactly the same way. In fact, by symmetry, the game is fair. Where is the mistake in the reasoning of each man? — "Martin Gardner: Aha! Gotcha"
I agree about feeling mentally refreshed, but I am normally knackered after travel because I don't stop moving when I travel (relaxing on a beach or beside a pool makes no sense to me). Most travel trips for me result in at least one minor epiphany about something I should be doing more or less of... Taking yourself out of a comfortable place to a new place can temporarily re-wire some neurons in your brain for more open thinking.

Just give the gap a name and it stops being a gap. Maybe you started your own company to unproductively mess around with stuff. Or call it a sabbatical. Those are popular.

I must admit I don't find the "compelling line of reasoning" all that compelling; to me it seems the "paradox" has more to do with the meaning of probability than with its calculation.

That is, the probability is 1/2. That's all that matters to the decision making. Calculating an "expected value" at all is completely useless, whether or not you do it "correctly".

Am I missing something?

Also, if you're on call 24/7 and getting burnt out, you need an effective way of shedding this load. And it just so happens that one of the effective ways of shedding this load is a real ass-kicker move: come up with a plan to improve your ops and make it so anyone can be on call, not just you. This probably means improvements to monitoring (clear signals that don't constantly false-positive and require the expert -- aka you -- to diagnose), improvements to reliability, and improvements to ops documentation (clear docs that say when this alarm goes off, here's what you do). Sharing the knowledge that's in your head so you can stop being a hero is a next-level maneuver, and as a bonus, it gets you some peace.
The problem here seems to me that apparently none of the remaining devs know how to use Python, not that Python itself is hard to read. Or that for some reason the original devs had no style conventions or good practices whatsoever, which you really can't blame on the language.
Mostly, it's Java written with Python syntax, specially the gang-of-four patterns. I recall it being even more java-like, so, progress?

The stuff that is actually idiomatic python is either too convoluted or rather obvious.

I know this comes across rather mean, but this is just not a good resource, for either beginners (not very idiomatic) or experienced developers (trivial patterns with trivial examples). There's maybe 2 or 3 good ideas in there, but even those I might be hard pressed to find a real usecase for.
That's pretty cool, but from what I understand products usually don't come with RFID, thus you'd have to be the one to stick them onto the carton of milk and all the stuff. I'd like one that, I guess, uses computer vision to see what is what and use that data to track everything.
If that were enough Angular would be more popular than it is.
I don't love python, but I generally think if you color between the lines and don't try to be too clever then you'll usually end up fine and not hit any clangers.

However, I do think that the pythonic way leads people to write terse clever code that's needlessly more complex.

The package-selected-packages is just the list of installed packages, doesn't load anything.

You can set

(setq use-package-always-defer t)

so anything you load with use-package will only be loaded on-demand. Or you can do it per package with e.g. `(use-package csv-mode :defer t)`.

Also make sure you don't set use-package-always-ensure and don't `:ensure t` or it'll try to install anything that's not installed on startup. If you want fast startup, it's better to explicitly install with M-x package-install
What I'm more interested in is the comparison between the cases of Go and Dart, which both are languages developed by Google.

Why Go is so much more successful (in the system programming domain) than Dart (in the web/mobile/desktop domains)? Many of the listed good choices (e.g. being developer-focused) can be (had been?) applied to Dart as well.

I think many "great" programmers also have plenty of flaws. Nobody is perfect. As long as you can make stuff that works, that's good. Some people will be better at some things, some will be worse. Focus on the stuff you're good at. Work on the stuff you want to be better at. But stop trying to be a superstar.

We're all stuck between Dunning-Kruger and the Impostor Syndrome, but we make it work.
Angular is indeed quite popular. Same as go is not the most used programming language in the world, angular may not be the most used frontend framework, but it's in the top tier.
You are looking for the wrong answers, looking at your questions. Please don't take my comments too harshly. I'm just trying to help, but some things you said just don't add up.

1. How do I fix this? Is this burnout or depression?

This is adulthood and you need to get a life beyond your job. Find hobbies, meet people etc. Learn to cook and do things yourself. I would never befriend somebody that just order foods, works and waste their time in social media.

Also visit a therapist. You need it very badly. Do it before you waste all your life not even knowing what you want.

2. How do I get ambition back and get rid of the envy?

Why do you need even more ambition?

3. How do I retrain the delayed gratification & work on hard things muscle? I think I'll start going to the gym and lift weights.

Don't buy this Jordan Peterson or Youtube motivation crap. You are thinking of that solution because you spend a lot of time in social media.

It is all a lie. Yes, you should exercise regularly, but there are at least thousands of sports. Why do the one that is the most efficient on improving your looks, rather than having some good mobility and agility? Or learn to swim properly? And the list goes on.

That's just you trying to be more and more competitive. You'll just waste your whole life on self-improvement. Find something that isn't about winning or growing bigger.

Look for a psychologist, you look very lost.

I never use the walrus operator but your second example is pretty typical and it does indeed look a lot cleaner with the walrus operator.
Then why is Dart much less successful?
Angular is not a language but a framework. A more reasonable comparison would be Dart.

Besides, being backed by a $CORP is necessary condition but not a sufficient condition for a language to become mainstream.

I have an indirect personal story about this: I'm a political refugee born in Hungary and living overseas. I told everyone that my name is rare enough in Hungary, and unique in my new home, making me easy to find in the phone book.

"There's another person with the same name!" someone told me once. And indeed, one state over, there was a professor with the same name at a University.

I happened to get a consulting job for a few weeks at that University, so I knocked on his door. Just to see the reaction on his face, I didn't speak a word, I simply plopped down my drivers license on his desk.

He stood up, pointed at me accusingly and shouted "YOU!"

That was... not exactly the reaction I was expecting, to say the least.

It turns out that he had been frustrated to no end for months and months by some poor student that contacted him from China. This student kept insisting that the professor was the only one that could help him with a very specific mathematics problem.

The professor told him, yes, but I'm not a theoretical mathematician, I'm a computational mathematician.

The student replied "Yes, I know!" It's some computational mathematics code that you published that I'm interested in.

The professor told him that yes, he's published code in computational mathematics, but it can't be him.

The student replied: "But lattices are your speciality! It has your name on it! You're the only professor to specialise in this field in the whole country, and you're the only one with this name to work at any University!"

... and so on, and so forth...

I was the one who published the code! The only other Hungarian in the country with the same name just so happened to be interested in the exact same obscure computational mathematical theory!

I had an interest in "reverse calculators" that could determine which symbolic forms could produce some long decimal value as an input. The LLL algorithm was one such method, and I wrote an implementation and published it online.

So I should have known about László Lovász, because I wrote an implementation of the algorithm he co-invented!

Sometimes it seems that it's a very small world...
Well they're rationalists, so they ascribe it magical rationality powers.

They invoke Bayes' theorem for its property of being optimal, but it's optimal (and trivial) when you know the priors. The hard part is knowing those, and they don't, so they just use it in a metaphorical/mindset way that doesn't actually mean anything, pretend they don't have actual beliefs so they don't need to take responsibility for them, and say "prior" a lot. (https://metarationality.com/bayesianism-updating)

In general, using probability theory as a way of thinking doesn't work because it can't reject infinitesimally likely but infinitely bad futures, which is why they're overly concerned with imaginary future AIs torturing them, and it ignores "unknown unknowns" and can only handle enumerated futures you already thought of, which is why they have that odd tendency to start polycules because it seems logical and then their girlfriends unexpectedly leave them.

(That's also how you know it's a Berkeley new religion - weird sex practices.)

I feel entirely exhausted by the JavaScript ecosystem. Just for me, it takes all the fun and workmanship out of building something. I tend to spend so much time on tooling that by the time I get to do anything creative, my motivation is nearly gone. I just experience the moment over and over that I just don’t want to deal with any of it. Then I wonder where the fascination and enthusiasm has gone that attracted me to and kept me in this area of technology for over 20 years.

Maybe that’s my inner geezer talking or there’s some nostalgic distortion at work but building a website and a small product used to be comparatively easy. Today with the elevated expectations on functionality and the tons of tooling it quickly becomes an almost insurmountable task. Everything appears to be optimized for the large scale, where all the tooling and workflows probably help. There are just so many moving parts, all the time.

I’d like to build performant web sites and products with as little JS as possible, make a good living doing it and spend time refining the foundation. But those jobs are gone. It’s all JavaScript and full-stack development positions now.
I think the implication is that the product/application which the landing page is promoting is being judged more harshly, rather than the landing page itself.

Usually I'd agree with you, but Switzerland has the advantage that 2/3rds of its population live in extreme density for European standards (426 ppl/km², [1]). The denser the population, the more cost-efficient the buildout of any infrastructure is.

Additionally, Switzerland is all but drowning in money (in fact, they have to fight to keep the Swiss Franc affordable [2]) because everyone and their dog who can afford it parks their dark money there. That influx of wealth is reflected in the services and wages that the citizens get.
