Great post. Open source maintainers clearly have some responsibility but we need to remember that they contribute their free time to make users lives easier
tomkadwill··on Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It
The author implies that there is no value in social media. It seems to me that there is value in social media. Effective usage of social media can build networks and be an alternative to meetups.

I think a valid solution is to limit social media usage to within specific windows (eg: only use social media for 1 hour per day)

tomkadwill··on Why 2016 is such a terrible year for the Mac
I agree. I've tried using webapps instead (evernote, slack, 1Password) but there are often features missing and the experience is not the same as running the Mac app.
tomkadwill··on Why 2016 is such a terrible year for the Mac
I think a lot of devs use a mac because they get a UNIX machine without the hassle of installing linux. Now, it feels like the barrier to entry for installing linux is falling and at the same time the mac has stopped evolving. Also, the price seems to have jumped significantly (I live in the UK so part of that is exchange rate)
