@aynish same background as you; I've found the Go/Templ/htmx/Tailwind stack to be incredibly powerful. htmx took a bit of mental rewiring to grok, but it's very easy to get productive with, especially with how easy Templ makes writing partials.

I would support a RiiR of Signal Desktop. It's honestly shocking how bad it is to use.

I gotta say, Lidlā€™s marinated tofu is unironically really good. And itā€™s just a ā‚¬1,30. Iā€™ll even rate it higher than Jalotofu.

Iā€™m realising that tech comps in India are now often 1xā€“3x (sometimes 4x!) that of Europe.

@cadey Iā€™m actually trying to solve this exact problem with https://kapycluster.com. Multi-cloud Kubernetes with a managed control plane.

@hugo fortunately wasnā€™t directly work related. Yeah, I wouldnā€™t mind a compliment like that, but in my experience, itā€™s usually been suffixed with ā€œā€¦ for an Indianā€ lololol (or something to that effect).

Dang, the last two meetings have had the "you don't sound Indian" exchange. It's cringe, don't do that. Today's went like this:

  • them: "you don't have the stereotypical Indian accent I was expecting you to have"
  • me: "uhhhh it's a big country with a large population, so I suggest you avoid painting it with such a broad brush"
  • them: "........... haha ....... okay ........ moving on..."

Perhaps I should've said, "you don't have the stereotypical German accent I was expecting you to have". Next time.
