I know zero go, despite having worked with it professionally for a short stint that I try and block out of my memory (not go's fault), anyway that first example looks like gibberish to me while the second is super clear.
I definitely recognized the voice of real people alive today in your example set. I assume it's some kind of a trained ai you feed hours of content to for them to determine the speech pattern, question is, are you paying royalties to those individuals for their contributions?
Remote work existed long before covid and had some great successful examples across both America and in Europe. I worked fully remote for the past decade. I used HN often to find good remote jobs.
It was easy to see that remote work could work in more environments given the right push. Software and technology ultimately needed to improve and it absolutely has.
Now compare to UBI, it's just not feasible. We see countries with extreme inflation and how bad it is, we see that UBI requires tyranny to work, it's just not comparable to remote work in any way.
A company could be perfectly capable of running a market without taking an unfair advantage on their own products. Apple is using terrible business practices here.
Valve as an example runs steam with their own games, and also with paid community created remakes of their games sold on their same platform, they exemplify what I would expect from Apple, epic, Google, etc.
You don't need anything to build a node.js app. If you use typescript then yes you'll want typescript, but honestly the experience out of the box in node is pretty fantastic that you don't need anything else, as far as build goes.
Granted if you are talking frontend browser code then sure webpack, but that tool has been around and stable for many years now.
Added bonus too is browser adoption is way better than ever so you don't really need a transpile either, typescript being the exception.
Consider then if Google had decided to leave it would have had a huge negative backlash on the law, given the usefulness of Google.
Instead Australia can now get what it wants and the backlash is minimal at best. Meanwhile they can go on to celebrate their dystopian law as working because of the endorsement Google gave them by capitulating.
Short term yeah it'd suck for Australia to lose Google but then the law gets changed back, Google comes back, and everyone wins. Well except for the Australian government.
Can't underestimate job security in the evaluation of salary.
