I have been advising people I know to block, then delete and report junk (iOS) to unwanted texts. Others have argued with me that you should reply STOP. I disagree, especially after checking a shortened link in a “campaign” text and finding the link was a phishing attempt. What do you think?

Aside from Android/iOS, what other Smart Phone OSes have captured any kind of market? I'm considering spending my personal project time developing apps for something other than the Big 2. Is there anything out there that other devs are excited about? Anything picking up steam lately?

I'm curious how folks handle receiving a POSTed web form whose data gets inserted into the database, especially in typed languages/frameworks. Do you use Form structs/objects, DTOs, and Models? How do you handle validation? How do you put the pieces together? I'm working on a personal project in Rust+Tide and I've taken for granted how "easy" some web frameworks have made this.
