This reminds me of how small of a team they are, and makes me wonder if they have a customer support team that's growing commensurately with the size of the user base.

Totally! And it's all upside (your body feels better afterward) no downside. (Ok, it's more expensive.) Especially when combined with other sweet ingredients, e.g. a banana – equally if not more delicious.

Wow, interesting take. Some counterpoints from history: - After the wheel was invented, humanity has never stopped building vehicles with wheels. - Since the printing press was created, humanity has never lost the ability to mass-copy and d

It seems you only skimmed the article. The concern is not rounded percentage points. The concern is that the total votes happen to be the closest integers possible to come up with exactly those single-decimal percentages. Indicating that

Sounds like you're saying either: 1. Engineers don't care about the health of the codebase and it becomes/stays a ball of mud, OR... 2. They do care, and end up refactoring/rewriting it in a way that just creates even MO

Came here to express the same sentiment. > Sometimes a big ball of mud is exactly what’s needed...Banks are another example...It’s soul crushing...which is partly why I left. Not a very convincing argument. ;-)

Ha, I also love the irony of your parent comment. Seems to totally miss the point, but I still upvoted because it illuminates the purpose of disk-level encryption so well, adding color to the conversation.

I think you're correct here that "micromanagement" in the article is a poor word choice. It's unfortunate that so much writing (especially prescriptive writing) uses inaccurate terminology for the sake of effect. It&#x27

That's an inaccurate generalization. Some kids would get distracted and socially disconnected from a smart watch. But there are loads of kids who aren't affected this way.

Some comments here are framing CSS as getting too complex. Some folks are recommending the utility-class approach (e.g. Tailwind). I don't want to argue for Tailwind, but as someone who's used it for ~4 years now, it strikes me th
