Did he ever check housing market in certain developed areas?

fabs probably was low margin business compared to selling Ads before current AI boom.

minus maintenance and energy cost.

I added something: be grumpy cynical software engineer with strong rigor, and it fixed personality.

likely because of gwt

I hope you didn't type all of this yourself, but use some AI agent slopgen workflow..

typed it all on my phone. I didn't even have to come up with anything, it just came out naturally. I guess you could say I've become AI-native

Are you working for hire? I'd like you to join my team where we are automating parametrizing paradigms to foster growth in changing paradigms of parametrizing workflows.

yes I am. I prefer a modern 996 schedule to maximize efficiency. let me know how I can contact you and we can set up a meeting to discuss collaboration and elevate our synergies to grow revenue through AI powered velocity

Zero new synergies?! Doesn't sound like a real project to me.

The issue is that field moves so fast, that yesterday's experts are not so experts today.

you provide free service, build brand and ecosystem, and charge for extra services, e.g. automatic-monitoring specific news topic, analytics, faster delivery on scale, etc. and even ads/ads free accounts

> Before Java got virtual threads in Project Loom, people were typically using some promises equivalent even though it mangled the heck out of all your code

I think majority Java code is just sequential blocking code, and it works just fine.

I think its the same as Java, Tomcat has some async threadpool inside, they just hide it from you, and your favorite rust framework doesn't, you need manually move your sync logic to Tokio spawn_blocking

Java is different. Tomcat's thread pool is the older way. A lot of newer stuff was using something promises-related instead with an event loop. But then recently Java added virtual threads which should obviate the need for that, similar to Go. Rust considered virtual threads but chose against that because it requires a more abstracted runtime like Java and Go have. Great preso on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ3NC-R3gSI

All the "async" stuff is super poorly named. They mean cooperative multitasking, or I guess "async within a single kernel thread." Yeah multiple kernel threads are asynchronous but "async" doesn't mean that :S
