kevinSuttle··on IBM is not doing "cognitive computing" with Watson (2016)
The problem is that even internally, there is this notion of "sprinkling a little Watson to do the hard jobs" and then 'poof': problem solved. Marketing reflects internally, too.

kevinSuttle··on Ask HN: What is your favourite tech talk?
This talk is obscenely underrated. There is not nearly as much tech-focused performance art in our industry.
kevinSuttle··on Ask HN: What is your favourite tech talk?
Came here for this. My favorite talk of all time. Easily had the most impact on my career.

If only people knew how often employees of companies like this scrambled to build something in a mad panic because some exec made a promise to a client about software that wasn’t even designed yet.
kevinSuttle··on Waze Carpool
Unfortunately, it's not a good showcase for React. This simple site is super janky (at least on my machine).
kevinSuttle··on Unknown Mozilla dev addon "Looking Glass 1.0.3" on browser
The ads during the show are super cringey. It's not as bad as the Alexa product placement, but still
kevinSuttle··on Ask HN: Which TypeScript codebase should I study to get better?
I would take an existing vanilla JS project if you have one, and convert it. I learned a lot there. You can also learn a lot of the conventions by using/studying TSLint. https://github.com/palantir/tslint

Nice! Thanks.
kevinSuttle··on Create React apps using Kotlin

kevinSuttle··on Is Haskell the right language for teaching functional programming principles?
Thank you. I'll check that out.
kevinSuttle··on Is Haskell the right language for teaching functional programming principles?

kevinSuttle··on Ask HN: How do you test the security of your front-ends?
Static web files would be a good start. JS/CSS/HTML.

You’re not wrong.
kevinSuttle··on Hack – A typeface designed for source code

kevinSuttle··on Atlassian launches Stride, its Slack competitor
They're a a foot in the door to chat ops, which leads to customer buying the best integrated tools with said chat app: the same companies that make the ops tools.
kevinSuttle··on Custom Elements v1: Reusable Web Components
This is the kicker for me:

> At time of writing, no browser has implemented customized built-in elements. Chrome plans to implement them (status) but other browsers have expressed distaste for implementing the is="" syntax.

I would love to just be able to "fix" the normalization around several built-in elements.

kevinSuttle··on Launch HN: PullRequest (YC S17) – On-Demand Code Review
Great idea. Admittedly, I didn't get it at first, but I'll be watching your progress now that I see it. Good luck!
