Ashraf seems like a great leader. I am not too excited about the focus on AI. Lets see where it goes.

Drew launched a great new product, fine tuned it to be one of most loved and then made profitable company. Respect

Nice article to show status signalling vanity and taste-based elitism. Adding a drop of "playing lego with kids" to show humane side was clever.

Staying with Apple even after they "purposely" hand you broken keyboard is psychological abuse. When people become habitual of abuse, they even start defending it. I am searching for my next Android. No longer waiting for Godot.

Thank you!! How can one of the biggest tech company be blind to such a basic thing ? It enrages me whenever I type.

Does no engineer at Apple use iOS or they never face this problem ?

It is a common misconception that the "expert" knows the best. Expert can be a trainee, or may be motivated to make more for its organisation or have yet to encounter your problem.

On the other hand, if you are using your car for a decade and feel it needs a new belt - then get a new belt. Worst case scenario- you will lose some money but learn a bit more about an item you use everyday.

Experts don't have your instincts as a user.

Would you like to hire "Cyber security engineer for vibe-coded applications" ?

I am travelling right now. I wonder if I had used Wordpress for my blog because it has a fully functional mobile app.

I will believe when GenAI becomes 10x, we would be noticing a larger number of emacs packages. Or at-least few attempts to rewrite old famous softwares like Calibre. I am sure that it is being used at a large scale in web apps and cloud tech. Not aware of the same in other domains.

May be in the future, everything will become a web app because genAI became so good at it.

Which specific plugin and LLM ?

Using LLM is so tiring. If I wanted to chat all day, I would be an extrovert.

I have a genuine query. Are any software engineers getting sane code out of LLM ?

I struggle to conjure good unity or kotlin code from both paid and self hosted solutions.

Obsession usually means your emotional reasoning is over powering your logical thinking ability.

I suggest - Every time you rewrite, document your architectural changes in a long form article.

You are essentially journaling your thought process, but explaining it to someone else forces you to break the emotional connect you have with your code.

This way you will start to view software architecture with a balanced mindset.

In some countries, 'return' comes with another huge problem. A parallel hidden economy, led by corruption to swap them with old items and sell as new on same ecommerce platforms. Sometimes swapping only original parts. Amount of money needed in managing 'authenticity/purity' of a return item is huge. From fake barcodes to fake packaging, everything is available at dirt cheap price. And ofcourse, the cheap manual labour in dire need of money.

Over the time I have learned that best way to store is to optimise for retrieval - not for storage.

I dont recommend retrieval to do anything with OCR or Full Text Search. In my personal experience, simplest way to retrieve data is by date. If I am looking or 2018 tax records, I have already found the root folder(digital or paper). Fast enough retrieval, hmmm.

You may optimise as per you. I hope the idea helps.

You can not create the universe. When building any thing new, you have to rely on current ecosystem. Earlier people relied on Kings and Bishops. Today, it's the banks and the platforms.

The advice should be, create your own mini ecosystem as soon as possible.

Replace word IIT with College. Most of your statement would feel correct nonetheless.

I guess then the Product Managers of these companies are building correctly for their user base.

No, but the culture is mostly acquired from there.

My father had a different dictionary if the reason was not damn good, like some one in medical emergency.

I wondering if thats the default behaviour of users too. That they do prefer to reply to emails at 2 am. It's anecdotal, but in one engineering team I talked about having culture of not sending emails after work hours. But consensus was that they have no problem with it, and some insisted that they are any way working late in nigt. So, will-fully or forced, users are maybe performing this behaviour !

Is there a metric that directly or indirectly indicates the amount of cognitive capacity used/spent ? Something like maybe calories.

Titles primarily exist to justify higher pay inside a team, and/or lower pay wrt to some other company.

In simple terms, Sr. usually is an understanding that you are on your own. Do not expect any one else to tell you how or what to do. Also, the ones without Sr. title may become your responsibililty.

Though debatable, it has nothing to do with your technical skill set or experience.

We are always looking for answers in some 'advanced' system. Forcing ourselves to do something 'hard', to prove to ourselves that we are doing something. May be a simpler system is good enough.

1. You can better focus on producing, when your needs to consume gets satisfied. Techs such as Facebook, Instagram are designed to keep you hooked, give a hit on every use, but never lead to satisfaction. Trick is to go back to basics. Spend more quality time with people around you. The human bonding fulfils the needs that these tech claim to replace. With this alternative, your passive consumptions will automatically decrease.

2. Contribution to the society does not have to be via creating content on web platforms. Technology is an enabler, it should not be confused as something to do with the goal. One does not contribute to 'open source', one simply contributes to a 'mission'. May be, you are afraid of commitment because you do not have a goal, something that you would personally want to achieve for yourself in your contribution. But your focus is on the means to achieve it. Eg. Writing blog post, creating videos. Simplify it down. Write down your short term goal. Focus on working towards achieving it. You may realise that you do not need these platforms.
