Got the numbers on a spreadsheet. Of course this is a super simplistic version assuming equal yearly commitments.

This made me realize it's been a long time since I did some brainstorming and how I missed it.

It's a night and day difference with mac.

I still have my linux desktop when I want to tinker.

How a decision is made, what gets released etc. are all opaque processes and blaming the devs from the outside is not productive.

That said, I'm all for it for devs becoming more responsible for the end result, evaluated within the org boundaries. Especially these days when people tend to cop out with "oh cloude did it / didn't catch it" responses (before, it was "oh I had to come up with something quick and couldn't check everything").

A very complex task tends to cost like 10$ max. It's comparable to a subscription with enormous flexibility.

It's a steal.

You are added to the list of projects I thought would really become essential to my work but slowly faded away. Another one, for example is rethinkdb.

At least Deno actually caused some movement in the node world, just like io.js.

One nit: Forgive me if I'm missing something but why do you have pro components? Won't people vibe-code clones anyway? I'd rather have a donate button these days.

You also need to restrain kids sometimes (could be often, if for example they are in the spectrum), because they have trouble regulating their emotions and they can hit others, and even themselves in crisis situations. However, you should explain them later, why that was necessary.

The teachers not being allowed to do that is mind-boggling to me. What do they do now, bring their parents with a helicopter?

Making a good brush engine is indeed a very hard problem, especially when you have undo history, high res canvases, layers, zoom etc. I just don't see it of such importance

Some people tell me why not donate instead, and the reason is the same as me giving people actual presents instead of gift cards: I take the time to choose and understand an issue, spend time on it, just like I spend time picking a present. Both are riskier than giving money directly, but the euphoria of having my PR get merged or present being appreciated is addictive :)

In any case, I'm so happy that making software accessible became something unquestionable when everyone started vibe-coding with agents that have a11y in their system prompts.

ELI5, anyone?

They have extremely good engineers, but product/feature management can really benefit from some self-reflection :)

If my current employer started having new software written in C instead of Java today, and while C has many problems, the problems we'd have would be all self-inflicted skill issues, not a direct problem with C.

Before this I used to sleep very late, even when I was a kid, and morning schedules were too hard. This way, there's no oversleep risk.

These are orthogonal facts presented as if they were related.
