This reminds me of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD my friend had. There was an option to Play All on the main menu and it would simultaneously play all the episodes at once on the screen, each in their own box.
The experience has degraded to the point where hotels are just better most of the time. Hosts these days tend to be commercial, unresponsive and have an unreasonable number of stipulations. I’m not really sure how you fix that, seems unavoidable with the scale they’re operating at.
I did frontend before React, and it was a welcomed change. The core insight of UI being a function of state is a good one. It saves you a bunch of headaches from the jQuery days where you’d have multiple code paths per UI element (adding, removing, mutating). That said I think they lost the plot with hooks and things have gotten needlessly complex since then.
“What kids told us about how to get off cigarettes”
While I agree there’s a problem with how helicopter-y society is with kids these days, I think it’s ridiculous to expect kids to resist a device that is designed to be addictive. Teams of tens of thousands of the most highly skilled people in the world are laser focused on squeezing every second of attention out of _adults_ let alone kids. We need regulation, full stop. I don’t know what that looks like, but if you’ve ever seen a toddler scrolling TikTok like a zombie you should know what’s at stake.
I imagine there is a lot of new pressure on public APIs now that there’s an explosion of vibe coded projects accessing them (some probably quite haphazardly).
I understand what the author is getting at. It’s really densely written though, I’m hoping the intent is to express the feeling rather than persuade because (as some of the top comments show) I think it comes across antagonistic to that audience.
I think they’re better for most users without a password manager. I don’t see how your mother example would have a better experience with another password to remember.
I've been evaluating AI code review vendors for my org. We've trialed a couple so far. For me, taking the workflow out of GitHub is a deal breaker. I'm trying to speed things along, not upend my whole team's workflow. What's your take on that?
Grew up in the burbs. Downtown has transformed into a fun, walkable, thriving area. Covid took some of the wind out of the sails, but it’s still chugging along. Overall, it’s a good city.
I think the idea is that it’s a forum for programmers and you can probably self serve some solution (whether that’s using a plugin, custom style sheet, making your own, etc).
You’re getting a 100% return on your investment and keeping a piece of equity for upside. I’d say it’s more than fair, it’s generous. You will get diluted over time, same as all the other equity holders, wouldn’t worry about it.
For B2B, you line up calls and show mockups or clickable prototypes (Figma if you’ve got the skills / budget, Balsamiq or similar otherwise). From there, if it’s compelling enough, you should be able to get a contract signed (wouldn’t bother with LOIs personally).
I played around with this a bit. Doesn’t work amazing on my iPhone model (SE 3rd gen), but it’s pretty cool. I don’t think there’s an API to use it in apps yet, but I would love to make an eye controlled mobile game.
I ended up buying a travel bidet because I couldn’t install one at our house for various reasons. It’s basically just a squeeze bottle with an angled head. Works great!
The easiest way to jump into product is to be a very product focused engineer and make an internal transfer. I’ve been offered such a transfer because stakeholders knew me and that I was thinking about these things in depth. This overcomes challenges around trust and credentials you have cold applying with no prior experience in the role.
If it’s a requirement to close a customer, they’ll tell you. Just keeping going with what you have until it blocks a deal you want to close enough to implement it.
