That article is weird, for me at least. I very clearly remember when a bunch of kids around the age of six and seven learned to bike, all at the same time. All it took was a woman's bicycle, the old type (I should say "very old" type at this point. Big wheels too), easy for kids. The kids had to stand up, not sit (too big bicycle), and all it took was a single run with someone holding the seat, and letting go after a short while. That was it. No further training required. And that was indeed how I myself learned to bike as well, when I was a kid. Training wheels didn't exist, and are in my opinion pointless unless you want your three year old "bike". For older children it actively does harm.
Self hosting email sounds like it comes with a lot of dragons, what do you use for it?
With regard to templating approaches, my favorite by a very wide margin is to simply use string interpolation in the base language.

You create a common template type with methods like:

LayoutHtml(Session? Session, string title, string innerHtml, ...) => $@"
<html>
(common elements)
{innerHtml}
(common elements)
</html>";

Which is then fed html partial snippets generated however you see fit. The use of methods to abstract partials in a hierarchical fashion like this can manage complex layouts well. You can recurse and compose this structure as much as needed (i.e., partials inside partials).

In my quest to move away from Chrome I tried to daily drive Safari on my new work supplied M4 MBP. I really tried, but it was just too slow in daily use. At first I thought something was wrong with my networking or Internet connection, or possibly all the web apps I use were having a bad week. However, booting up Firefox (or rather Zen browser) immediately solved all of my performance problems on all of my web apps.

There were some other problems with Safari as well; profiles didn't work quite the way I needed them to, limited extensions (no uBlock Origin!), etc. I probably could have worked around them but I didn't need to; Firefox was almost perfect.

Yeah, fair point.

I don't know whether budgets change school quality, but there is a marked difference in most cities between schools with high and low performance outcomes as measured by test scores, graduation rates, etc. (not that test scores are the best measure of life in general, but they're what's available in terms of academic understanding). And if you look at the schools with high ratings and where they are located, you'll find that it correlates greatly with income, and even more so you'll find that schools with the lowest performance correlate greatly with low income. (These are averages; there are brilliant students at all these schools.)

Families with higher income have more resources and more ability to support their child's education (after school activities, tutoring, a more academically-oriented environment, and most importantly, the absence of financial stress on the family unit which can greatly affect children especially if the parents (or in many cases a single parent household) has to work multiple jobs just to put food on the table much less be able to handle much else.
Note insurance companies can not pay out if you drive too fast even if there’s no limit.
Suppose you have a kid that you have reason to believe is at the 90th percentile. This isn't uncommon; it's one in ten kids.

The average kid at the average school is at the 50th percentile. Moreover, the speed of the class isn't even the speed of the average kid because then the 40th and 20th percentile kids would get left behind. To get out of this you'd need a school with a gifted program and enough 90th percentile kids to fill it, and many of them don't have one.
Balance bikes are all the rage in Tokyo. I have heard from parents that their kid learned to ride a regular bike in a day or two after pushing around a balancing bike for a couple of years. We agreed that learning to ride a regular bike a kid (without first using a balance bike) was tough!

Yes I understand, however it is possible to integrate Slack and Google SSO in such a way that it checks that the user belongs to the correct workspace, correct? Either via the SAML integration (https://support.google.com/a/answer/6357481) or an internal Google OAuth integration? The purpose of the public Google OAuth API as opposed to the previous two options is to allow logins from non-workspace or cross-workspace Google accounts, correct?

After a Year of Building, I'm Stuck Wondering If It's Worth It
For the past year, I’ve been immersed in building a tool for task management, something I thought could really help startups like mine. It’s designed to solve the overwhelming chaos of juggling too many tasks at once—something I’ve personally struggled with for years.

But now that it’s done, I’m hitting a wall. Building the software was hard, but this? This feels harder. Getting real feedback, understanding whether what I built resonates or just misses the mark—that’s what I’m struggling with.

I keep asking myself:

Am I solving a problem people actually care about?
Have I overcomplicated the solution?
Is this even something others would want to use?
I’m not here to pitch anything. I’m genuinely just looking for people to talk to about this. If you’ve been in the trenches of building something from scratch, how did you get through this phase?

Honestly, I’m feeling a bit lost. Any advice, stories, or even brutal truths would mean the world right now.

Thanks for reading,

A big difference to whom?

When I judge an educational institution I could not care less why some child being significantly disruptive is tolerated, even slightly. That institution simply becomes a non starter for a place I might send my children.

Of course parents who don't care about such things, or don't have the luxury of being able to choose, would accept such things. As would those who themselves have 'problem children.' Now think about what this does to the quality of that institution over time.
Okay, but there's a world of difference between a large amount of cash that nobody wants to claim because police know it's drug money versus an innocent person that the police have stolen money from without any true suspicion and the person has been fighting in the courts for years to get their money back.
It’s easier to see with kids who have stronger behavioral or learning needs.

I was a 3rd grade teachers aide and I saw the distinction first hand. A gifted child was given advanced textbooks and space to work at his own pace. The teacher didn’t really teach much, but the child was learning.

Conversely there was another kid who just got headphones to watch videos in the back of the room. I guess learn st his own pace, except the videos didn’t actually seem educational to me. I think it was mostly just done to keep him preoccupied.
What's been your strategy for doing this

I really enjoyed your comment. Without digging deep into design philosophy, it really is a fun practice to try hard to notice the things around you (especially in the physical world as opposed to digital) that were specifically designed for you in mind and have actually positively affected you. Most of them were quite intentional, indeed! Isn't that great?
What you see with that result is way more complicated than just "charter schools working."

> I've heard tons of people complain about slow compilers,

A slow compiler does not imply the compiler is slow because there's thousands of bespoke optimizations for nonsense code being ran

> Also, if you think about it, optimising code has to follow diminishing returns,

Nope, trivially. Though, I'm always eager for a Fermat-style marvelous proof that may have been too big for the initial margin you had. :)

Take a classic case of a buggy compiler generating O(n²) temporary copies due to missed alias analysis. One optimization pass to fix that analysis transforms it to O(n).

> at some point we are putting too much CPU time into little to no gains

It is theoretically possible to design a compiler such that it spends much more time looking for optimizations that the total sum of looking is greater than the program it is optimizing's runtime.

For example, an optimizer that is a while loop that checks if the function returns 42, but the function returns 43.

I'm not sure what light that sheds.

I'm not sure that implies that compilers have tons of bespoke optimizations for hand-transforming specific instances of absurd string code.

If they do, I would be additionally surprised because I have never observed that. What I have observed is compilers, universally, optimize code structures of a certain general form

> This is why there's -O3 in gcc and it's not the default, there's a cost to it that's likely not worth paying.

The existence of an argument with a higher processing level than default does not imply the compiler is slow because there's thousands of bespoke optimizations for nonsense code being ran. (n.b. -O3 is understood, in practice, to be risky because it might be too aggressive, not that it might not be worth it)
I live in the AWS console for work and am constantly switching between accounts. The "AWS SSO Containers" extension has been a godsend for me. I used to use Chrome profiles for this but it was very clunky and only allowed access to a limited number of accounts at a time. Firefox container tabs allow me to access simultaneously all of my AWS accounts, in one window, automatically. It literally made my work life better.

From skip-reading, this is not about motivation (intrinsic or otherwise) in general. This is about other people not caring about you, or what you care about.

I care a great deal about DevEx, and since no one else tends to care as much as I do, I can do good work for a few years, but then I'm worn out from fighting alone. I move on and hope things are more aligned somewhere else. Doesn't mean my co-workers are wrong for "not caring", just that I haven't found my peers.

From what I've gathered trying to talk to reasonable people who have different points of view from me, the main concern is preserving one's way of life. Their culture.

I've heard the phrase "the more of the third world you bring in, the more similar your country will be to the third world".

And be there no mistake - the countries that these people call "third world" don't want European or American culture infiltrating their societies either.
My biggest mistake I made was accidentally getting pregnant at 20 years old, with no job, house or income. Let's just say, it sets you back quite a lot. However, I do actually love my kids a lot, so as hard as it was, there was a silver lining.

And the other silver lining is i'm not even 40 and my kids are almost grown up, I have a lot of freedom, whereas some of my friends are just starting their families, or struggling with infertility etc and I sort of see that and think what a drag at this age, having to change nappies and do night feeds etc. I'm so glad thats not my life.

OK I guess I’m going to go against the deluge of comments here; And give an appreciable reason instead of denigrating those who might choose this.

The context, though, I am British. I grew up in Britain. I went to British school.

I can’t speak universally about my experience, (even within all of Britain), because it’s my experience which is in one small area of the country.

However, school, for me, was by far the single worst mandatory system I have been exposed to in my life. For the entirety of my young life, school was a prison. With inmates who would beat you, Emotionally abuse you, the “wardens” did not want to be there either, and did not care how the other inmates treated you… sometimes doubling down on the behaviour themselves. - The comparison is further solidified by 6-foot galvanised steel bars surrounding the complex, and that I visited an actual psychiatric prison not long after and the cafeteria, recreational grounds, rooms, etc; were identical to those of my school.

Education? You probably mean repeating exercises in rote? You likely mean memorisation? That’s not education.

It took becoming an adult to learn for myself that I enjoyed learning. My school was not learning, Everything that got me through school was things that my mother taught me- And as a consequence, I was always top of my class.

I find it hard to think of school as anything more than forced internment for children while their parents go to work, with exercises designed to keep you busy more than to give a functional understanding. I would not be surprised if this feeling is shared among many of my generation and social class, the endless chasing of metrics has made even the tiniest amount of joy that could exist in school- Non-existent.

and for those saying it was good for socialisation with other children- The ostracised, are learning to be helpless and to be victims- They are not learning to “socialise” more. If anything it is probably more harmful for those people to be exposed to more people until they’ve had time to form on their own.
Henrietta Lacks Seems Like a Nice Person, but Not a Scientific Hero
I too am a motorcyclist (and now, mostly, a cyclist) and think I may have misspoke (steering vs counter-steering).

When I learned to ride a motorcycle I was taught to push the handle bars with the hand on the side I wanted to turn (so, if trying to turn right, push with the right hand); this causes the bike to "fall" on the side of the turn, and follow the turn.

This is what I meant by "counter-steering" but 1/ it only works at relatively high speeds (above, say, 20 mph, which isn't high on a motorcycle, but pretty high on a bike) and 2/ it doesn't "prevent" the bike from falling, it makes it fall, which is what we want.

Following the same principle, staying upright on a bicycle involves steering, not counter-steering: when a bike starts falling to one side, turning the wheel to that side makes it want to fall to the other side; and if done fast enough and often enough (as all riders to), maintain the bike upright.
I don't want a gold standard - it was good while it lasted, but it'll just end up zero-reserve again.

Instead I am saving in a money with fixed issuance, that people can't just print out of thin air. It's proof of work, like gold, but digital and with a capped supply.

If you don't understand, I'm afraid I don't have the time to explain it to you.

I have an older uncle (early 70s). He told me that he switched in an ebike for trail riding when his strength began to fade with age. He said now he can use 25% power to get over the hardest parts of his favourite trails. He also told me that he scoffed at ebikes for years as "cheating", but then tried one after struggling on his favourite trails.

Well, pardon me. It doesn’t seem to me like you’ve gone mad, but if you are a psycho indeed, I don’t want to do you further harm.

If you really are “all right” and just an honestly styled man trying to cultivate good in a barren city with crushed soil and souls, then I reckon there’s some care in you of some kind much to be desired from others and you know it.

And I suspect that it’s the psychos who believe that they’re “Good Samaritans” and if your word is true then we can tell that apparently they’re unwilling to provide actions that confirm their claims. Crazy.

So, my guess is maybe the world’s gone so mad that anyone trying to behave sane looks strange, and the ones who are mad pretend to be right until wrong shows up.

So when we have anecdotes, we get told to look at the stats for objective facts. Alternatively, when we do have stats, we get told "no those numbers do not mean what you think they mean" as a way to dismiss the abysmal numbers. So which is it.

Let's face it, we all know it, just some of us are too scared to say it publicly. In large urban areas in America, there is a (large / huge / significant) portion of the school population that is illiterate, speaks non-functional english in the form of black-culture slang, the rest don't even speak english in an english-speaking country, and practically none of them are going to be functional adults that don't require assistance and handouts to survive.
