This list is fascinating. There's two web dev worlds. The world of the new and exciting, and the world of the mature and "boring". The web is run on the latter, and dev blog homepages are driven by the former.
"The fact that Shopify is written in Ruby helped a lot to overtake Java in June 2020 as the third-most used language on the web..No other hosting company has added more websites in 2020." 👏🏽 w3techs.com/blog/entry/web_t…

If you want to get a small amount of understanding of what this past week with Neo-Nazis, racists, and bigots storming the Capitol watch @wolfblitzer in this clip. 🧵👇
“To a certain degree, I'm happy that [my parents are] not seeing what's going on here,” @WolfBlitzer tells @brikeilarCNN after a rioter wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt was arrested. Blitzer's grandparents were killed in Auschwitz. "It was so painful for me to see."

Generational trauma is a real phenomenon. Centuries of persecution and expulsion don't wash away after a few generations in the States. Visiting Germany for the first time was nerve-wracking. Every time I visit almost any place in Europe I see the places of our murder.

A bill I proposed in this Knesset would make Arabic language mandatory for all Israeli students, recognizing the imperative for our children to communicate, engage, and understand each other, in #Israel and with our neighbors in the region. languagemagazine.com/2021/01…

Really large generalized Jira tickets can be a "code smell" that a project's requirements have not been fully detailed yet.
