I don't know if iHiD will see this, but this is Lane, the founder of Boot.dev. One of our students shared this article with me, and it really sucks to see. Exercism has always been a go to recommendation of mine for students who need additional practice or to learn languages we don't yet teach.

I know you mentioned you don't wanna do ads, which makes sense. But if you're getting 1200 sign ups a day thats worth a lot, and id be happy to chat and see if there's a sponsor opportunity thats uninvasive and that could at least keep you going.

anyhow, you can reach me on Twitter @wagslane or via email: lane @ boot dev.

either way, hope things turn around

I agree with the ads model as a way forward where purchasing a membership removes them. The fairest way.

second this, pay to get rid of ads, a fair deal and proved model.

Thirding this.

Another thing to try is to find mentors to train juniors and charge small %

In Paraguay it is indeed cold terere but it is absolutely shared, rarely drank solo

in the middle east it is generally not shared, everyone has their own and the host will refill your gourd with water.

Recently I had Carson on my podcast: https://youtu.be/9H5VK9vJ-aw?si=cv4ScxFTnJMRbsSH

He talked about this idea quite a bit, I love the idea of giving backend developers more control over the UI without resorting to huge JS frameworks

Some might. Most would watch TV, hang out with friends/family, scroll TikTok, workout, and play videogames

There are waaaay too many comments here hung up on the border example. This book changed the game for me, I consider myself a much more talented UX/UI designer. I can actually make stuff that doesn't suck now. highly recommend.

I found it clever and I welcome it. The history surrounding slavery isn't a taboo subject, what a ridiculous idea. The commenter in no way is condoning slavery.

I don't anyone believes that calling it Django Unchained would condone slavery.

They're just saying they don't want to have to think about slavery when choosing software which seems not unreasonable to me.

Uh, yeah, it absolutely is a taboo subject, at least in the USA.

Yep, as a black person in the USA… this sort of reads as:

“Remember those times your ancestors were enslaved?

Which relates to a history of segregation and oppression so recent that your parents were alive when it was overturned? You must remember it since it’s still championed by secessionists and is the cause of ever present police brutality.

Remember that? Well wow, do I have a funny joke for you!”

Long story short, there are other jokes that could be made.

Did you even look at the repo? There are many files.

Answered that in other comment

I've seen them and point is still valid.

This is potentially exactly what I'm looking for to take Boot.dev to the next level. I'm a bit worried that it's too JS focused, but if I can hack in the other stuff I need with wasm then this gets really exciting. thanks for posting :)

FYI, in your homepage video explainer, the code contains the comment "Don't touch above this line", but I think you meant "below" given the purpose of the exercise.

That's because you're looking at the wrong alternatives. check out Hugo

Not seen Hugo, but Htmx is looking interesting.
