Keeping connection with the older generations and learning from them is important. But I don't think, nuclear families are about denying that. It's more about having enough space and freedom to see each other when you want it, but keeping off each other's backs and not letting the differences between the generations ruin your relations.
I've grown up in a typical 3-generational Russian family sharing a rather small apartment, and I can tell you, it gets on your nerves when the grandparents want to watch TV at maximum volume, while the parent is trying to catch some sleep debt and the kid (me) is doing homework in the same room. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to move to the West where having enough private space was considered to be a basic and unquestionable necessity.
Please, don't romanticize it. If our economy is changing in a way where the corporations are getting richer and richer, while the rank-and-file employees are forced to live with their parents forever and will never afford to move out, it's not cool at all. It's a sign of very serious economic troubles and we need to focus on solving them instead of trying to think of the changes in a positive way, and then wondering why is everyone depressed.
Like aiven or aiven? :) I’m not aware of too much competition in this space. We’re happy with aiven so far, but they’re quite unknown / under the radar it seems...
I'm using elm so I don't have to learn any of these things. I enjoy knowing almost all parts of the language.
Also, in 95% of the cases, it provides enough flexibility to solve the task at hand.
Our CDN is global yes. Actually, when you deploy to netlify, we'll fingerprint all your assets (CSS, JS, images) and rewrite the URLs in your HTML so we can serve those straight out of Akamai's CDN with a 1 year max-age.
We run our own CDN for the actual HTML files, currently we have edge nodes in 7 datacenters around the work. This CDN is super optimized to this use case, which means you'll get a 90%+ cache hit rate on your HTML from our cache servers, while still getting instant cache invalidation whenever you push a new deploy.
This is also what allow us to do more complex things like proxying, OAuth1 request signing and pre-render support directly at the CDN level.
We currently beat all the services we run regular benchmarks again in our internal benchmarks for real user performance.
