Been waiting for this for ages, I hope it comes fast!

This finally answers my bafflement over why my requests for a transfer cap feature have been ignored by all thin-second-layer providers of the Vercel etc. type...

Took a good 10 seconds until the video started playing. Anything over a second is too long in terms of UX expectations.

I've been looking for a "blank" mechanical keyboard with cherry mx silent red switches — is it possible to add those to the options?

The Ergodox EZ can come with Red switches (both silent or not). It's also got hotswappable switches which is pretty cool IMO, you can change your switches whenever you want without having to desolder or even unscrew anything.

I can really recommend this keyboard if you find the Ergodox layout comfortable, they're very well built.

I've just started to rewrite my NodeJS-based prototype API using Actix.

In September 2020, somehow this all feels so dated and irrelevant, including talking about it here on Hacker News. The whole culture is past its zenith, ready to be processed and filed away.

Now you mention it, I haven't heard much (mind you I'm not in SF or anywhere near the startup world) about the startup frat culture in a while now. The investors have become less spendthrifty (?), some of the really big ones (wework?) have fallen from grace, and the older generation (e.g. Google) has really toned it down as well.

I mean for a good while it was like, Google is the place to be because they only hire the smartest and they take really good care of their employees. But as time goes by, turns out what they do is just a job, their developers are all right, they've got tons of legacy code, etc.

I was offered to apply to their "apps" department (think Docs and co) in Germany, but it just did not sound appealing.

To some extent the 'culture' just moves on to different fields and/or subfields.

For example, my experience has been that the cryptocurrency/blockchain 'culture' reached its zenith at a point later than the more general 'startup/app culture'.

I suppose ML/AI stuff is still sort of on the way up, if not for the coronavirus putting everything on pause.

I know a bunch of people in their early-to-mid-twenties who are perfect 'canaries' for whatever is the next 'startup culture' and it's both interesting and slightly annoying to talk to them about it.

I feel to old to get caught up in all of it, but I admit that knowing what's hot can be helpful to find the type of work that I don't like but that pays the bills.

> For example, my experience has been that the cryptocurrency/blockchain 'culture' reached its zenith at a point later than the more general 'startup/app culture'.

I'd argue that it was the same thing; startup culture was running out of gas and then a new, spicy tech showed up that revived the field and spawned a whole new galaxy of statups.

Turns out a disease was the cure.

Many people abuse the world 'literally' to mean 'metaphorically' but it really fits here.
