This broadly matches my experience.

Bad news! It has been discovered that as I have no passport I am an illegal immigrant!
It turns out that means I have to be given a house and a car! Thank you Scotland!

When in doubt, just use C# and ASP.NET Core.
It's blazing fast.
.NET 11 RC2 is even faster.
For me, it's the best overall major web framework - auth, config, logging, perf, modular middleware, DI, cross-plat, etc.
But I didn't expect this:

Imagine being so utterly devoid of wonder, ambition and imagination that you can't comprehend the possibilities of flying cars.

You should be fascinated hitting the power button on your computer.
Every boot on an x86 machine iterates through the entire sequence of computing evolution in a few milliseconds:
Stage 1:
16-bit Real Mode, acts like an 8086 from ~1978. 500ns (ish); about 15-30 instructions. Goal of this stage is to create a writeable stack+heap.
Stage 2:
32-bit Protected Mode, acts like a 386 from ~1985. Tens of millions of instructions; takes forever on DDR5 /w memory training. Temporarily uses L2/L3 “cache-as-ram” to kickstart main ram (Intel calls this NEM).
Stage 3:
64-bit Long Mode, acts like AMD64 from ~2003. Hundreds of millions of instructions; enumerate pcie devices, gpu, bootloader, etc.
Stage 4+:
Secondary core wakeup. Every *single* core has to go through the same process, but by this point it’s faster because Main RAM is warmed up.
Stage 2 is just so neat man. Quite literally the same concept as an APU/cart start. Use the smaller motor (L2/L3) to kickstart the main turbine (Main Ram) and execute the training process.
Is that not just the coolest thing? Next time I’m annoyed waiting at the DDR5 training process, I’m going to imagine it’s spinning up SR71 turbines.

Linus Torvalds says, rules prohibiting AI usage are “UTTERLY STUPID” and “idiotic”.
For the Linux kernel, Torvalds says, “we’re not going to make stupid rules that say ‘you can’t use tools for X’”.

Ministers lied when they said the evidence behind their "Islamophobia" definition was deleted.
I exposed Labour's cover-up, and they have now been forced to correct the record.
It's almost certain extremist groups influenced the definition.
I'll keep fighting for the truth.

No, this is not Monty Python humor. It is a niqab-covered woman, telling the Scottish parliament that they need to respect Islam and legalize polygamy.
Not being able to have multiple wives is causing Pakistani men misery.

Dear Muslims,
Japanese people don’t dislike you for being Muslim. Your faith is your choice, and we respect those who live peacefully.
But calling pork or mirin (cooking alcohol) in Japanese food “discrimination” makes no sense.
Our cuisine has centuries of history. It wasn’t created to offend your faith. Different traditions aren’t discrimination.
You’re free to practice your religion, but if you visit or live in Japan, respect our culture, customs, and laws. Adapt to Japan rather than demand it change for you.
Please remember that.

The death penalty does little to deter crime or deliver justice for victims.
It has no place in the 21st century and should be abolished.

We asked the question that prompted this reply.
It appears to suggest a knowing attempt to circumvent the rules barring charities from endorsing political parties or candidates.
Mosques must follow the same rules as every other charity.

"Boycott her in bed... and discipline them physically as well, by lightly hitting them to show who is in charge."
These are the words of a sermon delivered at a London mosque which, as a registered charity, receives tax breaks to undertake 'the advancement of religion'.

Ever wanted to fly inside .NET memory? I did, so created one with @threejs, pretty a lot of fun. I guess I need Meta Quest now for memory leaks analysis😇
