We use Haxe for a legacy PHP app. Its our secret weapon, im amazed why more PHP devs dont use Haxe, as its basically a better version of what typescript is to javascript.
We get all the bells and whistles, and a familiar feel, most new devs are up and running in a week with Haxe.
Compile times are instant, and tooling is good (lsp/testing/etc). LLMs also know Hace quite well as its an old language.
YT made sure adblockers ruin the experience. We really need a good YT alternative, as it has become AI slop (shorts) and most new videos are of real poor quality.
Been running Berkeley Mono for years. Before that i flipped fonts and theme like every week. I sometimes wish you could not change font or color theme at all.
I can sympathize; I shudder to think of how many total hours of my life I've spent tweaking fonts in my text editors.
That said, these days I almost exclusively use Input Mono [0], specifically the "Narrow" variety. With an occasional sprinkling of either Iosevka Fixed or PragmataPro Mono.
Most dont want that slop in their code. I have no issues with just writing the code myself. The "typing code" was never a bottleneck, and AI wont help for the real bottlenecks you have in an business setting.
Just have the link visible, but css it so that its either small as hell, or just off screen. Google / bots will follow it, real peopple will never see it.
Pretty easy. Get a paid number and have the phone scammers / marketers call that. I know a guy who made a decent side huzzle from this. They marketers slowly blocked his number tho, not sure if he still has this thing going on, as it was more a experiment.
IIRC he did something like that, ask them to call back in "10 minutes after my meeting, and call my personal number, not my corporate phone, as it is tracked". On other occasions he filled in this number to some online forms that he "was asked to fill before continuing".
Its pretty easy. You can register a number with a phone company. Then you decide on the cost (eg. 5 bucks / minute). I recall he told me got like 100-150 usd/month from this. The longer he talked, the more they paid. He used to hang up after 10 or 15 minutes, but his "record" was close to one hour.
Who TF cares about google? This is mostly for personal tech stuff (just the stuff AI steals for training). Id say its pretty welcome that it is not shown in google results.
