It’s 2024 and I still don’t get why one would want to use Tailwind over CSS. I feel its main selling point is that you don’t need to write your own CSS, which doesn’t appeal to me. What’s your opinion tech folks? Am I missing something?

Arne BrasseurCurious if we'll see more headlines like this one, although I doubt many will be so honest.
But after a year+ of C-levels and investors egging each other on to do bigger mass layoffs than the last guy maybe the pendulum is starting to swing back.

We are looking for hosting companies/spaces for our meetup for March (7th) and onward! We need space for ~50 people preferably inside/around the "ring" in Berlin. More detailed requirements/information here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTQ8H3MWYTg1wajUzJE605pmEXV7EtMm7Ya0wIy3kes/edit?usp=sharing
@mcc oh yeah. Korg for example makes such a nice metronome + tuner, too bad I just can’t stand the sound.
@ZachWeinersmith Mindscape’s recent solo episode on the topic is, I think, much more convincing in arguing the opposite view. BTW, I also really enjoyed the Mindscape episode with you :)
@ZachWeinersmith yeah, although the explanation in the article is hand wavy, and the paper sounds even flimsier. I don’t think it’s convincing, unless one uses such a limited definition of “understanding” that does not include being able to tell truth from straight up lies nor to derive new knowledge from known facts and properties
Advertising a product as powered by AI without saying what for will soon be perceived as synonym of cheap crap. As in “we could have done this properly, instead we used AI: for you it’s crap, but it costs us a fraction!”
thermonuclear small claimsFrom 2015 to 2022, I spent hundreds of hours on Duolingo, translating articles, answering language questions on the forums, and helping to improve the smaller courses by reporting mistakes.
There are thousands of volunteers who donated their labour to Duo: the course creators who wrote their courses, the volunteers who created grammar guides (some smaller languages had an entire second course in the forums), the wiki contributors, the native speakers who answered questions in the sentence discussions.
All of their work made Duolingo the powerhouse it is today. Duo was built by a community who believed in its original mission: language learning should be free and accessible.
Bit by bit all of our work was hidden from us as Duolingo became a publicly-traded company. And now that work is being fed into their AI as training data.
Well, I've learned the true lesson of Duolingo: never give a corporation your labour for free. Don't ever trust them, no matter what they say. Eventually greed will consume any good intentions.
@plexus partly due to a bad UI in my client, I tapped on “negative, grew up in US” instead of “negative, didn’t grew up in US” and I cannot seem to be able to change my answer. Didn’t want to skew the results
