The advice I'm most scared not to follow as I get older: don't dismiss everything that the younger generations say or do as being just a trend, and learn more about it.
Empathy
Awesome, I'm looking for frameworks like this, thanks for sharing.
Anything that involves deception, which unfortunately seems to be most of marketing.
I don't mind when people just try to get their product out there, just let it be known that it exists and does X thing differently or better. I hate when they mean to deceive. Something that is intended to deceive but isn't technically a lie is not really better than a lie, to me.
Easiest solution IMO if you're already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there's probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.
I'm pretty damn left leaning and I've never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word "tankie" seemed generally pretty clear to me.
I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?
Why is it insane?
I want to add that, like you, I've become a big fan of restricting the numbers of ways to do something.
IMO, It's more time wasted choosing, more time wasted reviewing, and makes it easier to overlook errors. I want more opinionated languages and frameworks.
I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn't understand with most of them. I don't often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.
Rust, because I'm lazy and I want a compiler that helps me out. Performance is a pretty neat bonus.
I've been using Zoho mail with a namecheap domain and had no significant issues, besides being marked as spam maybe once or twice?
