Yes, I agree that uberjars are a great thing when it comes to the JVM ecosystem. However, with the advent of projects like docker, I can't help but think that this reasoning is now obsolete. You can write your app in Go, Rust or Haskell and deploy it inside a container that you provide. You control the environment that it runs in.
I know some Clojure and barely any Haskell at all. I opened up "Learn you a Haskell" and copied and pasted a few code samples that appeared to have strange syntax. The idea of the post was to show the difference in the amounts of syntax in the two languages.
All these strange professions always wave the fact that they are registered in my face. It means nothing to me. I don't care if my nurse is registered or not. I can't tell the difference. This is a bit of a tongue in cheek app.
You sign in with Github to prove that you are a developer. It also means I don't have to make you fill out a CAPTCHA or ask you for your email. I ask for the lowest permission (read your public stuff), so don't worry about my trying to do harm to your Github account.
I couldn't agree more. I deal with a large number of older people on a daily basis as part of my volunteer work. Getting these folk to use the Internet in any way is painful. For example, I send out these PDF reports once a week. It's the same template every time but for accounting purposes, it has to be done. I wrote a Python script to generate those for me and I stick them up on a simple website on S3. The script them emails everyone to let them know the report is available and that they can download it. It includes a link to the report and to the website with all the other reports. These guys absolutely cannot open a browser and view the PDF in the browser. If it's not an attachment to the email, they don't know what to do.
TLDR --- Email is great. It's so simple that even non-techies get it.
