My fave I remember seeing years ago was one where a man - over some long period of time - managed to park in every single parking space of a supermarket.

I think that's fantastic. The dedication to such a trivial accomplishment!
I suppose it's no different to people that grind computer games to get 100% completion. A little dopamine hit each time that number edges up, followed by the satisfaction of having finally completed a long-sought goal.
Not really relevant, but this triggered a memory of being around 14 years old and getting scammed on Runescape which drove an evil character arch from me to somehow find out how to DDOS players in the duel arena and make absolute bank. I still feel a little guilty about my actions to this day. At the same time, I'm surprised that at 14 I was able to find and pay for a denial of service provider and figure out players IP addresses to intentionally disconnect them
See this is what surprises me. I would have thought voting for a more regular market with higher taxes to the elite would be favourable to the majority non-tech workers, rather than the billionaires which play the puppeteers to trump
Not a single penny of that "extra tax money from tech workers" would go to the average Joe. That's the problem. It would go straight for the lowest classes or overseas.
I got a 4k 32" IPS monitor years ago and was never really happy with it for similar reasons. Scaling never felt right, 2x is like basically using 1080p and fractional never looked good or had issues (in linux). Now I have a giant curved samsung display which is like two 1440p monitors side by side. There is a new version that is like two 27" 4k monitors side by side and I am just worried I would have the same issue I had before... I kind like being able to see my pixels :)
Mine has as well, but it's pretty useful. It's really just a search engine though, but it's indexed confluence and all other internal sites and i've found it pretty useful for everything.
It's strange that you assumed I don't work on large front-end projects rather than either asking me or sharing your own experience.
I've worked on large front-end codebases. VS Code has much better TypeScript support than IntelliJ. I'd rather this not be the case because I much prefer IntelliJ.
I made the switch from notepad++/sublime (even atom did not exist at the time). The plus side was quick editing. Most of the time you spend on a code is rewriting it (excluding reading it) and vim binding made that a breeze. And even tools provided by IDEs can be great for code massaging, VIM is still king for raw editing. And if you know the shell, you don’t miss much from IDEs.
Nowadays, I’m exploring emacs because of how easy it is to build tools in it. Vim is great for working on text, but emacs is great for creating tools that work on text.
I mean the obvious answer is language familiarity,
If your projects frontend code is in javascript/typescript ( which it is ), then using node is an easy choice. Shared libraries, shared types, etc etc
I was in the paradigm, there was very little code reuse from front to backend, some time performing validation I would like to have that option, but I would not have that as a killer feature that determined the language I use.
1. that's a lie, and "lots" of people don't use HTMX (unless I've been living under a rock and there is a non-unsubstantial number of people using it :D )
2. HTMX IS javascript, and you can still use the same familiar packages across front end and backend e.g. lodash
