I've seen at least one decent use case from "normies" around me: Bypassing stupid company processes to achieve actual automated productivity in your rote processes instead of the theatre of it. Sounds like a contrived situa

My 2c: there is a divide, unacknowledged, between developers that care about "code correctness" (or any other quality/science/whatever adjective you like) and those who care about the whole system they are creating. I ca

I know in some car tuning circles, or even just blue collar Joes in some places, will recommend removing the catalytic converter. Supposedly it makes the car use less fuel at the cost of worse emissions, and can make it sound better for tho

Time/energy wise, even with agentic coding, that's probably not the most fun value proposition for smaller/solo dev teams. I now have to maintain a mental model of several versions of my software, track features, refactors, e

Honestly I still don't understand how "cloud sqlite" isn't an oxymoron. I get it, Turso wants to actually make some money, but I just don't get it.

I've started straight up being doubtful of every UI kit until I see in the docs a HTML or non-React example.

Which leads us to: Tailwind supports making your own components, and encourages it. But devs, either pressed for time or lazy, or by always getting a slightly too unique design from their design team, don't do it. At the same time, n

Agreed, I do get the feeling there's a lot more underlying the author's problems than "just" extreme burnout at a deskjob. Software has been a relatively high leverage career path in the last decade; surely there were ot

Sure, waste a decade or two and then live your real life. FIRE is a nice idea, but in the pure sense it is really just the idea of deferring the life you really want to live. You might die before you get there. The fisherman and businessm

Most definitely. Emigrating halfway across the world is not cheap in the first place. Greece is also not cheap for where it stands on the economic level compared to the average income, especially back in 2018 when Dylan did it, and especial

errr, this sounds backwards, no? Tailwind is better when you actually try to put the utility classes in your own components, sure. But the reason Tailwind got popular over Bootstrap in the last 5 years is because people got sick of hand-twe

At some point you become exhausted of self-managing in an environment that is not suited to how your mind works. IME with the meds, the biggest benefit is not focus during its effective period, but the fact that I can still live my life p

I haven't tried this myself, but from speaking with peers who are deeper into coding with LLMs, they recommended to try out something like Playwright MCP. The idea is that you'd use Playwright as a way to automatically give "

As alluded to in another comment, this post kind of makes a lot more sense if you've read The Inner Game of Tennis. It kind of glosses over competence of practice, but the TL;DR is once you've built up some competence with a skill

There's odd and end features that some people prefer with Premium. E.g. offline downloads to watch when you're out of signal, background play, etc. And they don't want to go through alternative workarounds to do so. For me, i

Note: If you have a mid-range to lower end phone, battery optimization might stop your playback anyway by default. You can exclude Firefox from battery optimization though.

I don't even want more docker containers - I want to be able to run the same containers with much less overhead on the system. Hoping their new native containerisation plays that out soon.

Things like this make me wonder if the social media giants use attacks like these to gain certain info about you and advertise to you that way. Either that or Meta's ability to track/influence emotional state by behaviour is that

You can say that for a fair few of the services mentioned by GP. Google killed a lot of things to consolidate them into more "integrated" (from their perspective) product offerings. Picasa -> Photos, Hangounts -> Meet, Music

I tried CP2077's Deck mode but it really seemed like a tech demo level of "you could do this if you really wanted to" more than it actually being playable. The game felt like it had significant input lag, and at 720p with u

Interesting. I always found it to be about the actual ripeness/general produce quality of the tomato. E.g. an "average" tomato in many countries being used in a dish = fine, but wouldn't eat it alone. I just find them so

I almost want to disagree with you out of emotional pleading, but I think for most situations you're right. The unsaid part of your post I think is that you actually have to be good at the job and be capable of networking, if you want
