Great points.

But why do we invest so much complexity into outputting html/js/css.

BSDs are a no brainer if it's up your alley to use.

It was good luck to be exposed to BSD in school.

Caste is a disease for sure. Divides people for the benefit of dividers and the few..

Indian society can be pervaded by a grotesque shadow practice of caste which still exists today.

And it's been used in the US by Indians who practice caste-centric Hinduism who feel they are at a certain step of the caste ladder to those below them, or non-Hindus.

There was an article exposing it wasn't just for / between Indians.

Indians were actively discriminating against other Indians if they weren't born into the "highest" caste of hinduism (the few percent only allowed to learn to read and write), or avoiding the "lowest caste" of hinduism (way over 90 percent).

This caste system discrimination in tech, is also used to discriminate against other minorities who are not Indian, originating from the Indian subcontinent.

What does top 5 convey anyways? Temporary Signal? Status? Badge?

Likely not a ton of signups or paid users.

The next version of PH is likely being built now and be the next curve of growth the existing one hasn't done yet.

Becoming a platform for experts vs beginners is a key consideration.

Vue is great but it's a personal preference and interpretation for you.

It's not about better or worse for you, maybe for the average person.

Lots of open-source things got adopted without VC backing.

There's a lot more options now, it would be good to have a way to have the best stand out.

Except, any beginner can make a mess with anything. Methodologies and frameworks evolve, but not all create any for beginners.
