Not really.

The legal complications and details really matter depending on your usecase, what are you trying to do, which libraries and software are you going to use, how is your product will be used etc.

It's more than just a matter of taste and personal philosophies.

No.

What you most probably want to do is to build your next app as simple as possible, with hypermedia driven architecture, using established patterns of rendering server side, sending html to client, client replaces HTML.

HTMX is one tool that complements and fits nicely within this well established paradigm, which is the way I'm doing web development going forward.

Unless you have a good reason to do so

?

Of course I have my own opinions and some of them are quite spicy.

There are good reasons to use lax licenses and I think most of them are stated in that same section you are quoting from.

How do you think I can improve it?

EDIT:

I reworded that part. You were right, it was poorly written. I was very tired. I feel like the phrasing is better now, although my pessimistic stance towards permissive licenses still remains, while pointing out their usecases.

Thanks for your input! If anything else catches your eye, please let me know.

Comp sci and software engineering are 70% the same, the difference is CS is more math and theory oriented, software engineering is hogher level and more about methodologies, software architecture, systems design.

(Consider any other science discipline vs. Engineering discipline)

I'm a software engineer so I search quite a lot.

99% of my search is on duckduckgo and it provides me the best answers. Even if I'm using someone else's device to show them something for example, and their default search engine is google, I will switch to ddg because it genuinely provides better answers.

Emacs has basically everything. If you are willing to set it up.

Like I said, my suggestion is to not get hung up on the live preview feature and use an external tool for that. This way you can decouple your editor from that specific functionality you need.

People here gave great suggestions!

  • simple graphical: Kate
  • powerful but complicated graphical: Emacs
  • simple terminal: Helix
  • Powerful but complicated terminal: Neovim
  • (honorable mention) graphical: Geany

Live HTML previews isn't a dealbreaker feature. Use external tools like https://github.com/Abenezer-Daniel-1/live-html

So now this requirement is decoupled from your editor.
